...doctors are using remote monitoring to track a widening variety of chronic diseases. In March, St. Francis University in Pittsburgh, Pa., partnered with a company called BodyMedia on a study in which rural diabetes patients use wireless glucose meters and armband sensors to monitor their disease. And last fall, Yahoo began offering subscribers the ability to chart their asthma conditions online, using a PDA-size respiratory monitor that measures lung functions in real time and e-mails the data directly to doctors...
...longtime rival Yahoo, or they're trying to scare away one-day profiteers. "Either way," says Mark Mahaney, analyst for American Technology Research, "this is a real case of buyer beware."

It will be in the testing phase for as long as a year, according to Larry Grothaus, lead product manager...
...CNBC last week, Diller said Match.com needs to make sure its former employees "are not using the intellectual property that belongs to us elsewhere." But at a time when the site is already feeling the heat from insurgents like Yahoo Personals, Friendster and eHarmony, industry sources are snickering that its tactics may have given a boost to another foe. True.com really took advantage of this to generate publicity for itself," says Nate Elliott, an analyst at Jupiter Research. Guess it's too late to kiss and make up. --By Sonja Steptoe
