...streets for a few weeks, is specifically designed for the road warrior who needs a rough-and-tumble machine. The brushed-aluminum skin is scratch-proof, and this semiruggedized model meets the military's standards for durability, having been drop tested from 30 in. off the ground at every conceivable angle. That means if you fumble the 2530p and drop it at airport security (as I've done before, dimpling the corners of two MacBooks), an accelerometer senses the plunge and locks the hard drive into place, protecting your data...
Last year Hollywood released several movies critical of the war on terrorism. Despite featuring such stars as Tom Cruise and Reese Witherspoon, they fizzled at the box office.

"We would have packed up the tent four months ago if we didn't like daunting challenges," says Mike Duhaime, the campaign's ground-operations chief. McCain, as well, has been unapologetic about the moves his campaign has made, often comparing himself to his role model, Teddy Roosevelt. "I am a betting man," McCain recently told NBC News...
