...High-Definition adoption becomes mainstream over the next few years, how does Nintendo plan to compete in this new market? -Wes Schiel, Atlanta, GeorgiaClearly people are adopting HD and I think over time that will be something we will start to look at. We felt that with this generation, what was far more important was making a hardware system that was approachable-something people could look at and say, 'I want this in my home. It is small, quiet and intuitive and I know how to use it.' As HD adoption rates increase, it is likely that we may start...
...planet, called HD 189733b, revolves around a bright star 64 light years from Earth. Scientists refer to the planet as a "hot Jupiter" (it's similar to but slightly larger than Jupiter - and keeps a much tighter orbit around its sun, ensuring a scorching climate). And they have examined it for water before. But earlier tests of the planet's atmosphere yielded uncertain results, so this time, astrophysicists tried something slightly different. When HD 189733b was passing in front of its sun, they observed the way electromagnetic radiation was absorbed by the planet's atmosphere. The authors of the current...
...most of us back on Earth, the real significance will come when the technique is applied to other planets. "I agree we all have in the back of our brains that water is equivalent to life," says Tinetti. She doesn't believe HD 189733b itself will harbor life. That planet's surface temperature is an estimated 1,000 degrees K (more than 700 degrees C and 1,300 degrees F) on its sunny side, and scientists suspect it has very high winds - a hostile environment indeed. But if the technique to find water works on HD 189733b, then researchers...
...their favorite overcaffeinated DJ or catch those crucial rush-hour traffic updates, it's getting tougher to hold listeners' attention. Facing flat revenues and competition ranging from iPods to music phones, the 87-year-old industry is scrambling to reinvent itself. But not even satellite radio or the new HD format addresses this analog medium's fundamental flaw: it doesn't give people any say in which songs they hear. If you don't like a track or a DJ, your only option is to turn the dial--or turn...
CONTEXT There is a 32-character crack that disables the digital lock that prevents HD-DVDs from being copied--dangerous for the $24 billion DVD industry. After a website posted the code in February, lawyers demanded its removal. The online reaction then boiled over: the crack suddenly popped up everywhere. A song has even appeared on YouTube with the code as its lyrics...
