...just because of hurt pride but because the Serbs, a people used to war and not known for sentiment, have fallen hard for the surprising generation of tennis phenoms that have emerged from their midst. Serbian women are taking their division by sheer talent - and, okay, by looks too. Pony-tailed Ana Ivanovic, 19, came from nowhere to make the final of the French Open earlier this year, with a website that has registered more hits than that of the previous tennis bombshell, Maria Sharapova of Russia. Jelena Jankovic, 22, is headed for a quarterfinals match with Venus Williams...
...That may be true, but as Nokia starts embedding links to Ovi into more phones, operator sentiment could sour. Nokia is loading Ovi onto two fancy phones it introduced this week for shipment later this year - a refurbished N95 and the new N81, both with 8 gigabytes of storage capable of carrying 6,000 songs, according to Nokia. Vanjoki says the long-term plan is to embed Ovi throughout the Nokia range, including two new midrange, 4-gigabyte models it announced this week...

Cambodians routinely told me their greatest fear was a renewed civil war, even more than political repression, which while wrong and reprehensible, can at least be avoided by keeping your head down...
Mediterranean cork producers would probably not appreciate his sentiment. Their product, which has been plugging bottles at least since the days of ancient Pompeii, has gone unchallenged for centuries as the world's favorite wine stopper. But like many long-lived gastronomic rites, the custom ran into trouble when globalization kicked into high gear. In the 1990s, world wine production exploded, and to meet demand, cork makers started shipping products that, to many, weren't up to snuff. Increased concern about cork taint led wineries like Bonny Doon to look for new ways to seal their wares. Between...
