...Like the Nikon, battery life was easily drained with a lot of Wi-Fi use. Kodak ships two batteries with the camera-just don't forget to recharge the spare. I did occasionally experience hiccups in the Wi-Fi connection, whether because of range or just the vagaries of wireless networking, I do not know. Nevertheless, when a hiccup did occur, the camera's interface made it easier to deal with. (Wi-Fi geeks might be saddened to hear that the camera only supports WEP wireless security. If your network runs the newer, safer WPA security, you'll have...
...some countries grant spectrum as early as next year, others could lag behind by several years, holding back the mass production of equipment on which industries rely to lower costs. And if different countries assign different frequencies, handset vendors would have to build phones for separate markets - a logistical hiccup that would eat into profits.

There's obviously no way to know if some undecided cardinals saw a sign from above in Ratzinger's minor health hiccup, or if it reminded others that he may be too old. But the rest of us are looking for signals everywhere while we wait for the only one that counts: the Sistine's white smoke. As expected, the first puff this evening was black, though the atmosphere in St. Peter...
...their teens, hopping from job to job and date to date, having fun but seemingly going nowhere. Ten years ago, we might have called them Generation X, or slackers, but those labels don't quite fit anymore. This isn't just a trend, a temporary fad or a generational hiccup. This is a much larger phenomenon, of a different kind and a different order...
