...open standards. So far that hasn't paid off for Legend or its partners. The PC maker introduced China's first PDA based on Microsoft's Chinese Windows CE in May 1999. It has also promoted H-Open, a Chinese operating system it co-developed with a government think tank. But today, PDAs with Windows account for just 15% of Legend's sales, while buyers flock to low-cost devices running cheaper software. No outside developer or competitor has adopted H-Open. All this offers a sobering lesson for the multinationals that are cautiously entering the market. Earlier this year...

He tried to force him down by assaulting him with food wrappers, strategically equivalent to attacking a tank with a paper airplane. The Sox fan was annoyed enough to turn around and yell, “What’s wrong with you? Sitting down in the bottom of the ninth?” Then he adds the clincher, “No wonder you guys are in last...
...More violence. Violence breeds violence. When the Israelis fire tank bombs at the Palestinians, the Palestinian have to respond. When the Palestinian kill an Israeli citizen, the Israeli army has to react - it's their job to protect their citizens. People are squeezed in a situation where everybody is blaming the other, and there's no space for one side to understand the other. Not to agree - to understand...
