...that they can be big enough to run a factory or small enough to fit under the hood of a car. Medis' innovation is a type of micro--fuel cell, a power source that's small enough to slip into your pocket. The Medis Power Pack--a portable, wire-free mobile-phone recharger slated to be in shops by the end of next year--will allow users to boot up their handsets whenever and wherever the need arises...
...residents of the West Bank and Gaza living under siege, surrounded by checkpoints and suffering periodic air strikes and military sweeps, the Palestinian experience offers a ready template for understanding the turn taken by their own lives over the past six months. Whole villages have been surrounded by razor wire, their residents forced to pass through checkpoints; U.S. aircraft and artillery have blasted buildings suspected of being used by insurgents; there have even been instances of family members of suspected insurgents being taken into custody when their wanted relatives can't be found.

Bringing his work to TV was no comedown for the playwright, who is unapologetically "addicted to television," including HBO'S The Wire, The Honeymooners and "Law & Order: Sexual Filth" (his nickname for Special Victims Unit).

Inside the fence, a sign reads: working for a better future. This is Huntingdon Life Sciences, which tests new compounds for the pharmaceutical, agrochemical and biotechnology industries. Defended by many as one of the world's leading scientific companies, HLS is denounced by others...
Manhunt is an exceptionally violent game--garrote a villain with a sharp wire, and a finely rendered mist of blood sprays from his severed carotid. Interestingly, the game's premise feels like an attempt to help you sidestep any twinges of conscience you may feel at your own sadism--hey, it's that sick director guy who's making you do this! Not that this is any excuse, but if you can make your peace with the carnage, the game play is a bracing change from the usual button-mashing slugfests: Manhunt's thrills aren't in the action; they...
