Magazines, since they attempt to package information with big color photos, look even cooler as applications. Lynch fires up (Red)Wire, a music magazine that's delivered only as an AIR application. (The enterprise raises money for AIDS in Africa and is backed by Bono and other well-known musicians.) The appgazine looks like a folded box when it launches onscreen; Lynch clicks, and it unfolds, revealing a kind of table of contents. It's startling, it's cool. And you can't get it for free: (Red)Wire, which launched Dec. 10, charges...
...faring nations to avoid "harmful contamination" of other worlds while exploring the solar system. Human beings have yet to set foot on other planets, so the risk today comes from bacteria that can hitch a ride on unmanned spacecraft like NASA's Mars Phoenix Lander, which arrived on the red planet's surface last May. (See pictures of the Mars Rover's five years in space...
...wasn't meant to turn out this way. The new Russia was supposed to replace poverty, money worries and grumbling mothers with places like Rusfinance, a Moscow call center that transports you from the gritty streets and auto-parts stores into an indoor world of cheery beige furnishings, swirling red-and-gold patterns on the walls and easy credit.

Nearly everyone tried it once, but not Eric, the churchgoing Boy Scout who knew the consequence of disobeying rules: "A good, quick smack on the bottom," his mother Miriam recalls. "If you did something wrong, you're going to have...
...uptick in last year's Burmese poppy cultivation signals just how easy it is for impoverished farmers to turn to a delicate red flower when things get tough. Most of Burma's poppies flourish in the northeastern Shan State, which abuts the infamous Golden Triangle, where the borders of Burma, Thailand and Laos meet. (The flowers are also grown in Kachin and Karen states.) And given the omnipresence of opium and heroin smuggling in Burma - the nation is the world's second-largest poppy producer, after Afghanistan - it's hard to imagine how the trade can flourish without at least...
