...What the companies do have in common is a willingness to take risks, probably risks with long odds in order to launch new products. These products may be failures, but they are well enough researched and designed that they have a good chance of keeping IBM and Google ahead of the competition even if that does not immediately involve significant new revenue...
...telescopes are expected to peer deeper into space and time than any telescope has done before. Their launch comes three days after NASA's space shuttle launch to repair the Hubble telescope, which, since its launch in 1990, has been regarded as the most important instrument in the study of the cosmos. However, the ESA says that Herschel and Planck will explore the science of space in a way that Hubble never could...
With the new screening test, however, doctors can now potentially spare some patients chemotherapy and exposure to its often toxic side effects. Genomic Health, a biotechnology company, is hoping to launch the test commercially in 2010. The company isn't new to the field of cancer predictors: in 2007 it released the first test of this kind to predict the recurrence of breast cancer. That screen, known as Oncotype Dx, is used widely today and relies on a 21-gene assay to tell patients how likely their cancer is to recur and whether their tumors will respond to chemotherapy...
...current Houses from the inside rather than build entirely new ones--which is convenient in retrospect, they wouldn't have been able to pay for shuttle service to and from those new Houses anyway. But when this "House renewal" project will emerge is unclear. First the plan was to launch the renewal as early as 2011. Then the promise changed to "as early as 2012." In an interview on Monday, Dean of the Faculty Michael D. Smith emphasized the uncertainty embedded in that promise...
...outstripping all the combined spending of countries in NATO, excluding the U.S. Apart from China, the top Asian spenders include Japan and South Korea, nations that over the past 40 years relied on American military support to deter the communist states to their west. Now, Japan is due to launch its largest ship since World War II, a "Hyuga" class helicopter carrier - Japan's pacifist constitution forbids the use of carriers with more offensive aircraft - that is designed chiefly for anti-submarine warfare. Seoul paraded a similar 14,000 ton vessel at Qingdao...
