...lost and shattered, compute the cost in dollars and cents, but we will never be able to add up the psychic and emotional toll of what happened that night ... Bali was a symbol for most of us: of better times, of a future where we might lie in the sun for a few days or weeks, of a blissful state that has now vanished. We lost not only a resort and nearly 200 lives and our sense of safety amid a world at war against terror. Also gone is our belief that somewhere, out there, was a place that...
...Alexander, who lives about 500 yds. from two turbines in northern Michigan, watched his property value drop from $102,000 in 1999 to $96,000 in 2002. The tax assessor's form attributed the markdown to "noise from two wind generating systems." Alexander says when the rotors catch the sun at particular angles, a flickering light permeates his house. Indeed, it isn't easy to sell a house that sits near a turbine. Julie and Bart Thiry of Kewaunee County, Wis., who live in a ranch house 800 ft. away from the nearest of five turbines, believe that the windmills...
...Schmidt has deep roots in the tech industry. He was Sun?s chief technology officer but left to join Novell as CEO in 1997. If you don?t remember Novell, you?re forgiven.

Rymer, a vice president at Forrester Research. ?But I could imagine that they would put engineering investment into open office and try to create something eventually.? The market, so far, has been lukewarm to the deal. Google?s (GOOG) stock initially fell but is now back up $2.02 to $312.73 per share. Sun (SUNW), which originally...
...make sense of the Google-Sun deal? Here?s what we know: Sun has agreed to bundle the Google Toolbar with its Java programming tools, which are used by about 20 million developers around the world. After that, it gets fuzzy. Google agreed to consider buying Sun servers, a departure from its preference for the homegrown variety, and potentially a huge windfall for Sun, since Google needs ranches full of them. The companies may also work together to ?promote and enhance? Sun technologies, like the Java Runtime Environment and the OpenOffice.org productivity suite. There lies the tantalizing bait.
