About four minutes in, a link appears at the bottom of the screen to Google's new voter registration map, which went live on Aug. 25 (the video followed on Oct. 1). The map allows anyone in the U.S. to find out if he or she is registered and how to take action if not. DiCaprio puts his best gangsta foot forward saying "What I'm gonna do is ... I'm gonna wait around while you write this information down." Write it down? Isn't this an online video? Can't we just click? Don't think you're done...
...like a better travel laptop than my 17-in. MacBook Pro, and the 2530p has a 12.1-in. screen (as measured diagonally) and a total weight starting at only 3.2 lb., ideal for Virgin America's economy seats. As with most HP business-class computers, you get a slate of useful little features, like a teeny LED night-light at the top of the screen that pops out to illuminate your keyboard, minimizing spousal irritation. A fingerprint reader allows you to bypass password protection and log in to the laptop, or even to websites, with a thumb swipe...
...exhibition spaces in the world. But not everything Piano touches turns out as nicely. In pre-construction models, his New York Times headquarters looked delicate almost to the point of evanescent--quite a trick for a Manhattan skyscraper.

Developed by Genentech, Herceptin was marketed specifically to destroy cancers containing the her-2/neu protein, which doctors can detect using a 21-gene screen diagnostic. Herceptin has helped thousands of women combat breast cancer. But there's no doubt it has also helped Roche's bottom line: at $40,000 a year per patient, Herceptin grew globally in sales nearly 25%, to $4.1 billion, last year. "You need self-confidence to take risks," Schwan...
...toss-up, not a momentum changer; the public, however, saw it as a clear-cut Obama win. In retrospect, there were two reasons for this. The first became clear when I read the transcript: Obama was far more forceful on the page than he was on the screen. He just lambasted McCain quietly. A key moment was the Iraq question: McCain was very strong here, slamming Obama for not supporting the surge. But Obama's litany of things McCain had gotten wrong ("You said that we were going to be greeted as liberators ...") was devastating. And his bottom line - that...
