...hack trumpeted today, however, was How To Make A Laptop Stronger, Lighter and Cheaper By Carving It Out of A Block of Aluminum. This technological feat was pioneered on the earlier superlight MacBook Air and from this day forward (until we reach the Glass Singularity, I guess) will be standard fare on all Mac laptops. Jony Ive, design boss and Apple's second-most important man, explained: "Rather than start with a thin piece of aluminum and add multiple parts for structure, we start with a thick piece of aluminum."

High-rolling investment bankers liked the Gulfstream IV 19-passenger twin jet (also $13.5 million), with video screens at every seat and a computerized flight deck that an airline captain might...
...acquisition of Lithium Corp. of America made Gulf Resources, in a single stroke, one of the world's largest producers of lithium, a superlight metal that, in various forms, is used in such disparate products as laundry bleach, synthetic rubber and swimming-pool disinfectant. Lithium Corp. also has a stake in a venture to extract potash and other minerals from Utah's Great Salt Lake. Bunker Hill, meanwhile, is one of the U.S.'s biggest producers of zinc, lead and silver.
