...gutsy play, and it came from the gut: unlike almost any other high-tech company, Apple refuses to run its decisions by focus groups. But Jobs is a hardened gambler, and he doesn't scare easily.

Iran and North Korea do not scare me. The U.S. does. Christina M. Gebbia Valencia, Spain The world would have seen another mushroom cloud but for the politics of restraint and the memory of Hiroshima and its victims. But with the shift from cold war conflicts to unconventional suicide bombings and the quest by Middle Eastern countries...
