...computer for every pocket. That idea has been the core of Palm, Inc.'s strategy. Ed Colligan, president and CEO of the maker of the Treo smartphone and other wireless handheld devices, spoke with TIME's LAURA LOCKE about the future of mobile computing and why Palm joined forces with Microsoft...
...bonding on the basis of mutual sweating, swearing, swaggering under impossible conditions. But that, in its way, is the genius of this movie. Mendes, whose previous films (American Beauty, Road to Perdition) bear no resemblance to Jarhead, except in the well-calculated expertise of his direction-lots of handheld cameras in constant motion here-is totally non-judgmental, entirely unsentimental.

...space projects--to explain how to do everything from operating the module control stick to walking in one-sixth G to maneuvering around another grimy, unshaven, bulky-spacesuit-wearing man in a lunar-module interior no bigger than two telephone booths.

Skype has signed up 51 million "registered" users of its software, though probably less than half of those actually use it. Many Skype users call from their PCs, laptops and handheld devices via fixed or wi-fi-accessed broadband lines. "Five years from now, most calls, everywhere in the world, will be routed over the Internet, [via] affordable, cell-phone-like products that are Skype- and Internet-enabled," predicts Skype ceo Niklas Zennström. In these early days of mobile...
