...several reasons, this deal may be one of a kind. First, there is the perfect fit of the Journal and Dow Jones brands into the next big venture for Murdoch's News Corp. Having built Fox News into a 24-hour cable news giant, Murdoch is moving into the business news sector, challenging CNBC. The content, expertise and reputation of the Dow Jones properties - including Barron's and the various global Wall Street Journal editions - give him instant muscle for that fight...
Negroponte has his skeptics (including Bill Gates) but is undismayed. "The cynics can be as cynical as they want," he says. "If this makes the industry address low-power, low-cost laptops that can be used in very remote places, that's perfect...
...artisans, from comic-strip illustrators to traditional wayang puppet makers, the show "Embedded with Punkasila" both tests the limits of Indonesian free speech and challenges Australian notions that its neighbor is a hotbed of Islamic fundamentalism.

Despite the overwhelming attention given to the recent arrival of many immigrants, a disconcerting number of talented but disillusioned youngsters are leaving Britain. There is very little overt racial discrimination and harassment, and there are still job opportunities, but the perfect, rose-tinted perception of a country ascending on the back of economic growth is increasingly at odds with the subtle realities of adversity, bias and inequality endured by many here. It is these subtle realities that I am sure many of the estimated 300,000 French currently residing in Britain have...
