...These things used to cost many thousands of dollars and were found in only the highest-end home theaters. But with the Optoma HD20 ($999) and subsequent offerings from competitors, the middle market can now afford super home-theater projection too. In fact, with all these pocket-size microprojectors flooding the lower end of the market, it's practically raining projectors these days...

And those are just the fights inside his own party. Of all five bills, only the Senate Finance Committee's garnered any GOP support...

The London Daily Mail reported on Tuesday that Hicheur had targeted an oil refinery owned by the French company Total and wanted to create an explosion capable of destroying a "city the size of London," according to unidentified sources. The French official would not comment on the Daily Mail report but did say that Hicheur "had some written projects and drawings concerning certain targets in France." The official added, however, that Hicheur "had not gotten close to defining a plot." (Read "French Terror Conviction: Lesson...
