...race is already on to see who will get the customers for the new age of wireless products and services. The dark horse is Sprint (S) which is in an alliance with Intel (INTC), Clearwire (CLWR) and several other technology companies to build an ultrafast WiMax network. The more successful operations like Verizon are putting their money on Long Term Evolution (LTE) products...
QUAKE 4 It's based on the gorgeously photo-realistic Doom 3 software. It runs on the muscular new Xbox 360 hardware. It features concert-hall-clear audio effects (listen to those tinkly brass shell casings bounce!) and the ultrafast, hyperviolent futuristic military combat that made the Quake franchise a thing of legend, including classic death-match action and some brand-new elements--vehicular combat and squad tactics--thrown in for good measure. Well, space marine, is there a problem...
...arteries that feed the heart. Calcium can then build up in the vessels and stiffen them, laying the foundation for heart disease. Getting one's calcium score is as simple as getting a quick injection of a contrast agent in the arm and a zap from an ultrafast X ray, either by electron beam computed tomography (EBCT) or by multidetector CT. Studies show that in every age group people with higher calcium levels have a greater risk of heart attack than do people of the same age with lower scores...
...whizziest new device, an ultrafast form of computer scanning called electron-beam computer tomography (EBCT), picks up the presence of tiny deposits of calcium in the heart. One study based on the scan showed that patients who build up 20% or more calcium each year have an 18-fold greater chance of suffering a heart attack than those with less calcium in their hearts...
...reports suggest that new non-invasive techniques can detect blocked arteries before a heart attack occurs. In one study, scientists used an ultrafast C.T. scan and computer technology to view and monitor plaque. In the other, researchers successfully used the scan with an injectable dye to see if arteries had actually narrowed. One conventional method, the stress test, isn't always reliable; in angiograms, the other technique, a catheter must be threaded to the heart...
