As these cells become infected and release their viral loads, the patients' organs effectively liquefy. Membranes that separate the patient from the outside world also breakdown, releasing this internal viral slurry. In effect, the patient becomes a human virus bomb...

This particular party has $908 million left in the bank. Its cash flow is at negative $400 million for the year--ugly, but Amazon doesn't expect to bleed much more. Its annual debt service is $150 million. No wonder the company is quietly shifting gears in the drive toward profitability. Eagle-eyed analysts have seen a slow, steady price rise on high-profit stuff like electronics. And the enormous premium that Greenlight.com is paying for placement on the site could be a sign of things to come, says Mike May, senior analyst at Jupiter Communications. "Increasingly, retailing...
