...Facebook threat pales beside the remarkable success of Apple's iPhone and the rise of a mobile computing platform that exists parallel to - but distinctly apart from - the Google-dominated Web. While it's true that the iPhone accounts for more Web browsing than any other smartphone, it's also true that browsing the Web on it is still a suboptimal experience. Anyone who uses an iPhone knows that native apps are infinitely better to use than the Web. The iPhone is all about apps - not browsing the Web. Virtually any site you can think of, from the New York...
...Nayernia says that was not his team's intention. Rather, the experiment was a proof of concept that stem cells can generate any cell in the body - not only the dozens of tissues that make up the human body but also those egg and sperm cells that may give rise to altogether new bodies. "Other cell types don't generate the next generation," says Nayernia, a professor of stem-cell biology at Newcastle University. "This makes a very big difference between our study and the study of other cell types from embryonic stem cells...

Only the relatively recent rise of tourism has brought fishermen and others to live here. Thus, one does not see the traditions and specific culture so critical to indigenous cultures on islands settled less recently, such as Hawaii...
...these discussions, in turn, get written about in the press, sparking conversation among like-minded people around the world. Look past those quintessential G-8 buzzwords like "consultation," "global social integration," and "millennium development goals" and you can see that, in recent years, the summit has given eventual rise to debt forgiveness for poor countries, a significant aid package for Africa and a genuine attempt to tackle climate change...
...consumer panic. Drivers, who on average have one-third of their tank filled, could rush out to fill their tanks, effectively tripling the demand for gas. That alone would send oil prices soaring. So, too, would speculation by investors who predict a drop in supplies. "Prices will rise, and people will buy futures," says Drollas. "Traders will buy because they are worried about their supplies." All that could send market prices rocketing - and deepen the global recession. It remains to be seen whether the market remains calmed by Obama's reassurances this week that military action against Iran...
