...Palm gave the public a first look at the Pre, its entry in the smartphone race. (Neither price nor release date was disclosed.) Palm's cell-phone operating system was in dire need of an upgrade; the Treo, which once ruled the category, is now a distant fourth behind the Apple iPhone, the RIM BlackBerry and phones running Microsoft's OS. The stylish Pre was a hit with attendees - it has a touchscreen like the iPhone that slides away to reveal a keyboard, and it can run many applications at once, rather than one at a time, which...
...Cricket is on a roll. The economic center of the sport is now in neither Australia nor England, its birthplace, but in India, which last year hosted the first season of a loud, lurid and big-bucks league that features a short and furious version of the game. South Africa is on a roll, too, at least when it comes to sport. After the country won the Rugby World Cup in 2007, its cricketers have proved themselves world beaters. And for once, the description "rainbow nation" genuinely applies; South Africa's cricketers are white, black, mixed race and ethnically Indian...
...immediate objective is a sustainable cease-fire. That may be possible in the early days of the new Administration because both Israel and Hamas may be ready for it by then.

On the other side, Hamas does not want to lose control of Gaza. For both sides...
...Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night will keep your mail carrier from making the daily rounds, promises the U.S. Postal Service's unofficial motto - but the economy might. With 9.5 billion fewer letters and packages delivered in the 2008 fiscal year compared with 2007, the biggest mail volume decline in history has contributed to the agency's $2.8 billion loss for the year. That partly explains why shipping prices will rise 5% this month (a bigger hike than all shipping increases in 2008), with a stamp price jump to follow in May. The decline could also...
...Davutoglu, Turkey's chief foreign policy architect and Erdogan's top adviser, summarized Turkey's new strategy as "zero problems with its neighbors." The reclusive Davutoglu wrote last year: "A central country with such an optimal geographic location cannot define itself in a defensive manner. It should be seen neither as a bridge country, which only connects two points, nor a frontier country, nor indeed as an ordinary country, which sits at the edge of the Muslim world or the West...
