...have a music player such as iriver's brand-new 2GB clix ($200) - or another player listed on Microsoft's PlaysForSure website under the "Subscription Enabled" header - you can set up Urge to auto-synch playlists and feeds, but these players will never threaten the iPod. No, Urge poses a threat to Apple because of the MTV brand and because MTV closely works with youth-oriented cell-phone carriers like Virgin Mobile USA.

Security Council if the regime refuses to abandon its suspect nuclear activities. The Iranians, meanwhile, have repeatedly dismissed the Security Council and insisted on their right to enrich uranium, which can be used for peaceful purposes but is also the first step on the path to the Bomb. The U.S. says Tehran's obstinacy is reason...
...Russia is not only blocking efforts to threaten sanctions against Iran; it is also planning to sell it advanced surface-to-air missiles that would help Tehran defend its airspace against any attack. Moscow has also evolved a stronger strategic partnership with Beijing than existed during the Cold War, when the two countries' differences were skillfully exploited by Washington. Energy and security cooperation has reached new heights, and it now appears that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization - a security forum created by Russia and China to cement their influence over smaller Central Asian nations to the exclusion of the U.S. - plans...
