...every single thing that was cooked, all out of the same bowl. So if the macaroni and cheese was over-concentrated (mea culpa) and left a thick, artificially cheesy residue on the inside of our already oatmeal-coated plastic bowls, we had to live with it. Sure we could swish some ionized water around to clear the bowl, but then we would have to drink down the entire concoction of oatmeal, cheese, water, and a few errant twigs and clumps of dirt. God forbid we dump it on the ground, and a squirrel should stumble upon a non-native food...
Take, for example, Nokia's new 2730 model, which will be available later this year for just over $110. The 3G device might not have a touchscreen or a swish keyboard, but with access to Ovi Mail, Nokia's free e-mail service, it's designed to give thousands of consumers in emerging markets their "first Internet experience," says Credit Suisse's Garcha. Ovi Mail was conceived specifically for consumers with limited PC access, and almost all the 350,000 accounts registered since the service's launch last December have been created on Nokia phones, not on computers...

For spring 2009, designers really got into the swing of things, finishing off everything from evening gowns at Jil Sander to peep-toe suede boots at Christian Louboutin and sexy cocktail dresses at Alberta Ferretti with a swish of fringe. Forget about the Western connotations for a minute, because even when it comes to lamps and costume jewelry, this season's fringe is strictly boudoir...
...right, there we go." With those words and a swish of his pen, President Barack Obama reversed one of the most controversial Executive Orders in recent history. In front of the country's leading scientific minds, including Dr. Francis Collins, who helped map the human genome, and Dr. Harold Varmus, former head of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and a science adviser to the Administration, Obama fulfilled a campaign promise to lift the ban on federal funding of embryonic-stem-cell research put in place by then President George W. Bush in 2001. Obama's new Executive Order allows...
