...full-length feature film - Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle - and though the system divided it up into small chapters, I could watch the whole movie. It wasn't easy to make out a letterboxed widescreen film on the Sansa's 1.8-in. screen, but the action was surprisingly smooth. Battery life wasn't even an issue - although SanDisk won't release details on the battery life for video playback, my guess based on my testing is that you can watch three to four hours. SanDisk says that you can play 20 hours of music...
...grape growing. Then again, few[an error occurred while processing this directive] places have a terroir and microclimate like Waiheke. An island 35-minutes from Auckland by ferry, Waiheke is home to vineyards situated on clay soil mixed with volcanic rock, giving grapes a wonderful consistency (and particularly smooth tannins to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot). Due to its position in the Hauraki Gulf, the island also experiences a warmer climate than Auckland, lengthening the critical ripening season. Then there's simple luck: Waiheke experienced exceptionally sunny weather from January 2005 through till harvest. "Abundant sunshine and the virtual absence...
...your Euro? That's the question for tennis fans at the U.S. Open, which gets under way this week in New York City. Is it the melted-chocolate-smooth Swiss, Roger Federer, 25, or the bulldog from Spain, Rafael (Rafa) Nadal, 20? The top-ranked players in the world--Federer is No. 1, Nadal No. 2--have met in two major finals this summer, with the dirtballing specialist Nadal spoiling Federer's bid for the Grand Slam by beating him on the clay at the French Open. Federer, in turn, held serve against Rafa on the drag-strip grass...
...start of the school year has not been entirely smooth. Several state-run schools won't open on time because of construction problems. Parents have found it difficult to navigate the new school system, and officials are laboring to hire qualified teachers and retrain existing ones. The teacher's union has complained that some schools have opened prematurely...
...most important ideas of 20th century physics, relativity and quantum theory, were known to be fundamentally incompatible. Quantum theory describes the universe as intrinsically discontinuous: energy, for example, can come in bits just so small, but no smaller. Relativity treats time and space and gravity as a smooth, unbroken continuum. Each theory has its purposes, and they usually don't overlap. But when dealing with very large masses or time periods that are infinitesimally small, like the core of a black hole or the first moments after the Big Bang, neither quite works...
