...modern music's biggest headache, a good old-fashioned remedy: British music fans sharing illegal files online can now expect a polite slap on the wrist in the form of a letter through the post from their Internet Service Provider (ISP). The warnings are part of a government-brokered agreement between the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), which represents record labels in the U.K., and the country's six leading ISPs, and aims to stymie online piracy by better educating Internet users about illegal file sharing and by promoting access to legitimate online services. The deal offers "hope of a sustainable...

It was the sound of chopping wood and then—thwack!—it reached...
...pieces produced by Shanghai, only 12 passed the modest quality standards, which required the watches to neither gain nor lose more than 120 seconds a day. But these unreliable prototypes, Chan explains, provided the basis for the mass-produced A581 - launched in July 1958 and adorning many Chinese wrists until its discontinuation in 1967. Millions of A581s were made, which means that today they are relatively easy to pick up in Shanghai curio stores from about $15 (variations in dial color and casing style will affect the price). Chan is also a fan of the A623, launched...
