They do, however, have diagrams that they believe show components of a nuclear bomb. According to a Western diplomat familiar with the U.S. intel brief, a Farsi-language PowerPoint presentation on the laptop has "catchy graphics," including diagrams of a hollow metallic sphere 2 ft. in diameter and weighing about 440 lbs. Other documents show a sphere-shaped array of tiny detonators. No file specifically refers to a nuclear bomb, but U.S. officials say the design of the sphere--an outer shell studded with small chemical-explosive charges meant to detonate inward, which would squeeze an inner core of material...
When I wrote about Apple's Intel-based iMac a few weeks ago, I said that the upcoming MacBook Pro was an "iMac on wheels."?One reader wrote to say this was an unfair description, because the iMac was for consumers and the MacBook Pro was, well, for professionals.

It's not easy to watch the highest-definition QuickTime movie trailers on a G4 PowerBook, and on many Centrino-based Windows notebooks, it can look pretty choppy, too. But on the MacBook Pro, 1080p movie trailers are smooth running...

If you boot up using an external drive, as many Mac users often do, you have to reformat that external drive to have something called a "GUID partition," otherwise the computer will simply not recognize it as a boot disk. The other disk issue I have had in the last few weeks regards DiskWarrior. The hallowed saviour of Mac-formatted disks since time immemorial doesn't run on the new systems...
Nelson's favorites include technology blue chips Intel, Dell and Microsoft, which he believes are becoming more shareholder friendly by buying back stock and cutting back on options for executives and should benefit from an expected surge in capital spending. He also likes banking giants Citigroup and Bank of America, whose profit margins should expand after the Fed stops raising interest rates, which is expected this spring...
