Naysayers nitpicked about its technical shortcomings - and its top-shelf price - but its breakthrough design won it millions of fans nonetheless...
Cassel Kroll, 37, waited in line for three hours Friday morning at the AT&T store on Manhattan's Upper East Side to purchase his new high-tech toy. It would be another five hours before he could get it fully working. "I haven't figured out how to use this thing properly," Kroll told TIME at the end of the business day on Friday. Although he was able to make phone calls, when he tried to load applications onto the new phone, he received a perplexing error message stating that applications in his iTunes library could not be installed...
Reporting in the July 10 edition of the journal Nature, researchers used a high-tech equivalent of a stereo speaker lowered into a bore hole near Parkfield, Calif., a half-mile deep and five yards from a measuring device. For two months beginning in late 2005, researchers transmitted pulse signals three times per second, from the speaker to the measuring device, calculating travel time between the two stations. Surprised scientists learned the seismic waves slowed dramatically on only two occasions: two hours prior to a magnitude-1 temblor, and a startling 10 hours before a magnitude-3 quake...
...fractious legislature, fulfilling his pledge to be the "Everglades governor." His greatest challenge, though, is economic sustainability, attracting high-wage industries that don't depend on perpetual growth.

But he fell in love with tech when he got hold of an employer's TRS-80 Radio Shack computer in 1978, and wrote a tiny routine for it. (It wrote out the lines to Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken, accompanied by blinking pixels.) "It was a gigantic, eye-opening experience for me," he says. "My first experience of software was literary and it really spun me around. The connection fell into place pretty fast for me: You can do fun stuff...
