...look in the consumer electronic space we are the largest, Wal-mart is second and I believe Circuit City is third. So we are watching with great interest Blockbuster's action. We've got a point of view of what we are trying to do for the consumer and we've got to try to do that better whether Circuit is sold or not. So there is not a lot we can do about that, but it is a big force in our industry...
Financially, organic recycling is a no-brainer. It's cheaper in many areas to recycle food waste than to consign it to valuable landfill space, and the compost can be sold as organic fertilizer. (San Francisco brews a variety of compost recipes from its waste and sells them to more than 200 local vineyards.) But first you need to get citizens on board. In San Francisco, about half its residents participate in the curbside program, along with thousands of restaurants. The key is getting over what Robert Reed of Norcal Waste Systems calls the "ick factor"--the fear that leaving...
...kinks but hope it will grow to many times that. "We need to get bigger if we want to make a dent in congestion and pollution," says Jim Sebastian, planner for the district's department of transportation. And just like Paris, Washington is using bus-shelter ad space to pay for the program. Clear Channel's outdoor-advertising unit paid for the exclusive right to sell shelter ads and is pouring a percentage of that revenue into a scalable system that ties in with city bus and subway routes.

...than half of the Prius', which now has the lowest drag in the industry. Cheap technology allowed Fambro to create such an aerodynamic design on a limited budget. For $50,000 Fambro found some off-the-shelf software--the same kind NASA uses to test the drag of its space vehicles. To keep drag as low as possible, for example, the three-wheeled car has no side-view mirrors--the driver has 180° rear visibility with the help of rear-mounted cameras. He estimates that today's computing power is so fast and so cheap that he can do "with...
