...outside, the only feature that distinguishes this iMac from the last one is the video output. With the right adapter, you can now plug in one of Apple's 20-in. or 23-in. displays and extend your desktop into that space. (Previously, any external monitor simply mirrored what was on the iMac's own screen.) On the inside, of course, it's running a 2GHz dual-core processor that Apple says has been tested at roughly two times the speed...

...alternative energy. "Europe needs a clear and more collective and cohesive policy on security of energy supply," said Andris Piebalgs, the E.U.'s Energy Commissioner.

In France, which already relies on nuclear energy for more than 75% of its electricity, President Jacques Chirac announced plans to develop...
...This plug-and-play approach borrows from gene therapy, in which tiny pieces of DNA are delivered directly to circulating immune cells in the bloodstream. The DNA packets are painted onto tiny gold pellets (an ideal delivery medium) and shot into the body at supersonic speeds with the press of a button on a gene gun. "In the event of a pandemic, you don't need health-care workers to deliver this vaccine," says Clive Dix, PowderMed CEO. "You could train people in 10 minutes." Early safety studies showed promising results, and PowderMed hopes to continue testing its vaccine against...

Super-high-fiber cereals also help. The aim is to plug up your stomach so that it releases its contents more slowly, thereby triggering fewer hunger pangs. "Fiber isn't the only way to lose weight," Roberts says. "But for people who struggle with dieting because they are hungry, it really seems to help...
