PASSWORD REPLACEMENT INVENTOR: BIOLINK Your brain is big, but it has better things to do than remember an eBay password. Thumbprints, however, have nothing to do--ever. So Biolink's U-Match Mouse comes with a thumb scanner and easy-to-install software that renders passwords obsolete. Up to 10 thumbprints can be held in memory at any time, and parents can limit the access of younger thumbs...

From Bombay to Rome, London to Mexico City, the wide windows of the fast food franchises have become something of a traditional target for crowds protesting everything from the bombing of Serbia or the entry of U.S. corporations into India's catering market to globalization in general.

But I doubt we were as spirited as we could have been. It wasn't just that it was less fun. There were safety...
Whoops. Rove realized he had the wrong church. He pulled a U-turn in the middle of the highway, but by the time they finally made it to the right church, steam was coming out of Bush's ears. "He's not a man who hides his emotions," said someone who was in the room. "He was pissed." They started practice 40 minutes behind schedule, and by the time it was over, they wished they hadn't started at all. Bush had bungled and fumbled his way through the 90 minutes. "It was not a crackerjack performance," said a senior...
