Your home has one high-speed Internet connection and several computers, and you'd like them all to share that fat pipe. But a home network? You can't bear the thought of drilling holes in your walls and snaking cables around the house. Here's the good news: you don't have to. You can go wireless...
...train station. The 68-year-old journalist was alone on a quiet street sheltered by cherry trees along the Kanda River. Suddenly, he heard footsteps, then a loud voice: "You bastard!"

U.S. firms spent more than $27 billion last year buying Canadian oil and gas companies, and the government of Mexico is considering 18 separate U.S. proposals to bring to the Baja peninsula liquefied-natural-gas terminals, which would receive shipments from all over the world and pipe gas to the U.S. European and U.S. energy firms have at least that in common: they know a good deal when they...
