...legal system also is not keeping pace with forensic investigation methods. There have been several conflicting appellate opinions on warrantless cell phone searches and the law is not "settled" at this point, ACLU's Calabrese says. Just as emerging fingerprint and DNA technologies were challenged, cell phone evidence is under scrutiny. In the meantime, all of us - innocent citizen and criminals alike - continue to pump ever more data into cell phones and PDAs, those indispensable companions that have so much to say about...
...Long Goodbye Although Michael Duffy's thoughts on "How to Walk Away" from Iraq made sense, I beg to differ with him on the timing and pace of withdrawing troops [July 30]. While it is crucial that they leave in an orderly fashion, the sooner they depart, the better. A U.N. task force should be assigned to guard Iraq's borders and prevent a regional conflict.

Of the 37 competition venues, 36 are scheduled to be finished this year, including the bubble-sided Beijing National Aquatics Center and the new Wukesong Indoor Stadium, according to the Beijing Olympic Committee. The National Stadium, with its iconic "birds nest" design, will be finished in early 2008. A new north-south subway line is set to open in September, but other transportation improvements...
...second objection would be to the film's pace. There were long stretches when stuff just didn't happen. Antonioni had an answer for that too: "In certain moments, life has different rhythms. At times it's dynamic, at other times static. So why should we avoid the static moments to concern ourselves only with the dynamic ones? If a film is to take account of reality... it must also consider the rhythm of this reality." In other words, he was just being a realist. Or a neo-neo-realist...
