...know where Ott shops. New York City has some of the worst grocery stores in the country, hands down. In the rest of America, they build supermarkets the size of convention centers, and fill them with every kind of soup Campbell's ever made and all of Heinz's 57 varieties. In the city, ours are the size of subway cars, filled with the same kind of really angry people trying to squeeze their carts past one another so they can buy 28 oz. of peanut butter for $6. Selection? Ha. We get chicken noodle and tomato soup...
...team, part of his Vulcan research group, started project Sybok, named for Spock's half brother. After a series of prototypes--with names like Dolphin, Eagle, Falcon and Gecko--the team members nailed a version in 2004 that met their goal of shrinking a laptop to one-eighth its size. But it was too hot for laps, so it was scrapped. A faster, slicker processor has since cooled things down. Today, however, the heat is external.

And the OQO2 comes with an elegantly designed docking station that lets you use a full-size keyboard and screen when you're not traveling...
...many formatting changes. I feel that readers have been robbed of a battle-tested magazine structure. I'm well aware that at this point, far too much money and time have been invested to revert to the old order, but the magazine now feels like a sellout to tabloid-size pictures and overzealous fonts. TIME can look forward, but don't lose sight of what you have left behind. Jason Zimmerman, PITTSBURGH...
States and cities aren't waiting for Congress to act. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger committed the state to a 25% reduction in greenhouse gases by 2020; he was promptly sued by carmakers that would have to increase fuel efficiency to sell there. If California prevails, the size of its market could turn its regulations into a de facto national standard. While no other states have passed limits as strict as California's, about one-third of the U.S. population lives in areas where there are automotive-carbon limits in place or under consideration, with curbs in place in 11 states...
