...Asus Eee PC 1000HE Taiwanese tech titan Asus has mastered the art of making teensy, high-performance PCs. The 1000HE ($530) has a zippier processor than its rivals (making for smooth HD video playback) and a 9.5-hour battery. But that all adds bulk - at 3.2 lb (1.5 kg), it's one of the heaviest netbooks around. www.asus.com...
Travis Chamberlain, 30, shares this sincerity. I met him halfway through the protest march, where Columbia Boulevard starts to sag toward the Columbia River. Tall and broad-shouldered, he was leaning against a stone wall, filming the protesters - for Mayo, he said - with a small Taiwanese Aiptek HD camera.

The promise is that movies will look better than ever, duplicating and perhaps surpassing the big-screen experience. Manufacturers and film companies, investing zillions in the process, want you to say, Wow! But first they want...
...seems impossible that a handful of companies could put nearly 80,000 people out of work in a day. Caterpillar (CAT), Pfizer (PFE), Texas Instruments (TXN), Sprint (S), and Home Depot (HD) did most of the damage. What was not seen in the headlines was the thousands of smaller American firms which also fired people over the same 24-hours. Could 200,000 people across the economy have been put out of work in one day? Of course...
