...deter it and other retailers from allowing that material on their sites in the first place. And as experts like Edwards note, a firm like Fobis, whose annual Weemote sales peaked at $1 million a few years ago, hardly has the resources to go suing all over the World Wide...
...That all began to change once Moviefone - the phone-based movie ticket ordering system that started up in 1990 - allowed consumers to order tickets from home. A decade later, the websites Fandango and MovieTickets were both established, opening Internet pre-sale options to a wide swath of Americans and largely eliminating the need to show up early at theaters, unless you were insistent on a prime seat. Between the two sites - which have begun to sell advance tickets 30 to 45 days in advance for big Hollywood blockbusters - nearly 4,000 midnight showings of The Dark Knight were scheduled. Thousands...
...variation in another gene similarly blocked the receptor that allows HIV to enter white blood cells; far fewer people carry that variant. In the lab, Weiss found that the African-specific receptor, called DARC, or duffy antigen receptor for chemokines, also interacted with HIV: the receptor binds to a wide array of proteins that suppress the virus's replication. Intrigued, but unable to explain why the lack of the receptor increased HIV infection, Weiss teamed up with geneticists at the University of Texas and elsewhere to analyze how the gene variant impacts HIV rates in real populations...
...public-health and law-enforcement officials--who have mounted an aggressive campaign against alcoholic energy drinks--worry that drinkers will assume they'll be wired enough to drive home after a long night of consuming these beverages. (More on the science later, but caffeine makes you feel only "wide-awake drunk," as researchers have put it, not actually less impaired.) The alcoholism-prevention community had been startled by the speed with which the caffeinated cocktail of Red Bull and vodka became a bar staple across the U.S. and Europe in the early 2000s, and many activists were determined to prevent...
...preparing to make his first trip to Iraq as part of a congressional delegation in January, 2006, he sought the advice of one of his Senate colleagues about how to make the most of his day and a half there, most of which would be within the 10-mile-wide, U.S.-controlled Green Zone. Seek out some journalists, Senator Jack Reed told him, and ask them to give you an off-the-record assessment of what life there is really like. As Obama later wrote in his book The Audacity of Hope, that session turned out to be a valuable...
