...goes to for digital projection. It has an 80% share of the market in Europe and makes about half of the world's digital cinema systems. But that accounts for just 3% of the company's total sales; display and visual equipment for everything from rock concerts to air traffic control rooms accounted for the rest of the $806 million total for last year. Looking at a potential worldwide market for digital projection equipment of around $12 billion, Stephan Paridaen, head of Barco's media and entertainment division, expects sales to shoot up to 20% of the firm's total...
...through an awful lot of tough times," says Joe Gill, research director at Goodbody Stockbrokers in Dublin. Even European flag carriers like Iberia and Air France-KLM, which have faltered as no-frills carriers enticed away their short-haul custom, might see things looking up. IATA says international passenger traffic is up 8.3% this year, and order books at Airbus and Boeing are bulging; the U.S. manufacturer has taken 659 orders this year versus 277 in all of 2004.

Few of the students passing through on election day stopped to cast ballots. The eight red-and-blue voting booths remained empty throughout most of the day, leaving the five election officials and one Cambridge police officer there with little to do. The election supervisor there would not provide comment. But, at 11:30 a.m., three-and-a-half hours after the polls had opened, only 27 people had cast ballots...
...noticed a somewhat subtle change in their ability to access the Internet that was put in place before the school year began: just about every computer on the wireless and residential networks on campus is now behind a firewall.This particular firewall is, more or less, innocuous. It blocks incoming traffic, so it only will stop you from things like trying to run a web server out of your dorm room. The reason for its implementation is in fact to protect us, from malicious viruses that take over our computers and use them to attack other machines on the Harvard network...
