...nobody's really found the gold yet." Three biometrics companies merged to form Identix, based in Minneapolis, Minn., which with $92 million in revenues is considered the world's leading biometric-security company. It is Cross Match's only U.S. rival for sales of the high-resolution, forensic-quality live-scan machines, which capture fingerprints with inkless optical-scanning technology and transmit them to central databases. While Identix's scanners are bigger and pricier than most of the smaller company's comparable products, the two firms compete directly for deals that require machines for a desktop or larger.

"We know we have a responsibility for Copenhagen," says Connie Hedegaard, the Danish Minister for Climate and Energy. "We'll live...
...China's failure to live up to its promise of free access to the Internet for the estimated 20,000 international journalists expected to cover the Games has become the most prominent bone of contention between the IOC and its critics. The sensitivity of the problem was apparent in Friday's IOC press release, which seemed also to condemn itself in its eagerness to avoid the appearance of a backroom compromise with Beijing...
