...well, soup to nuts. But they've remained fully rooted in the analog world. Enter Crowley's server-based company. It transforms video-game machines to offer 30 different games instead of one, and gives jukeboxes the capacity to deliver 2.2 million songs. Crowley expects the Coke machines could tap into that same tuneful database and sell downloads of full music tracks. That's a potentially huge moneymaker: half of all mobiles will have MP3 capacity within two years, and Coke has 2.8 million machines worldwide. They'll also likely sell wi-fi access and tickets - for everything from airline...
...increasingly other factors, like the combination of low wages and high education levels in India and the migration of human talent to Singapore, determine where capital flows. Winter also points out that in markets where corporate structure remains cloudy--China is a prime example--investors can more safely tap some of the excitement by owning multinationals. "You don't have to buy local stocks to do this," he says. A quarter of Procter & Gamble's sales come from emerging markets, for example, and China alone accounts for 14% of revenues at Anglo-Australian mining giant Rio Tinto. Buying more-established...
...judge ruled that the surveillance program violates the Constitution's Fourth Amendment because it allows officials to "search" people's phone calls unreasonably and without a warrant. But she didn't say how the searches are unreasonable. If they tap into an old-fashioned call between a couple in Peoria who rightly assume their conversation is private, that's one thing. It's quite another if the couple uses a cordless phone (because they shouldn't expect privacy) or if one person receives the call overseas (because he may not be covered by the Fourth Amendment). And some searches...
...That experiment was a remarkable success. Eager to tap Shenzhen's low costs?especially for labor?foreign companies rushed into the SEZ, led by factory owners from nearby Hong Kong. The result was a decades-long boom, with Shenzhen's economy expanding at an average rate of 28% a year from 1980 to 2004, according to Hong Kong-based consulting firm Enright, Scott & Associates. Exports from Shenzhen reached $101.5 billion in 2005?13% of China's total. Today the city is home to some of China's most important electronics manufacturers, such as telecom-equipment firm Huawei Technologies and mobile...
...OPEC, the energy cartel that supplies a quarter of the oil consumed in the U.S., said it will sell more to make up for the Alaska shortfall, and the Department of Energy is figuring out if the government should tap its strategic reserves, which would start to kick in within a day or two. But those promises did little to allay oil traders, who frantically anticipate other potential supply disruptions in geopolitically strained locales from Nigeria to Venezuela to Iran. "We have problems all over the place," says Phil Flynn, senior market analyst and vice president at Alaron Trading...
