...Experts caution that the Clef du Vin will not magically transform a harsh vin de table into a grand vintage. (You can ruin a good wine by leaving the instrument in the drink too long.) What it can do is help determine which vintages are worth waiting for, and for how long. Wine goes through stages of oxidization, from fermentation and bottling to total oxidization, when it becomes too old to consume. In between, it reaches periods of equilibrium when it is perfect for uncorking. The Clef du Vin helps predict when those periods will fall-and with 95% accuracy...
...paper, blinds drawn, looking out over his newsroom, a large, open-spaced office filled with clocks, cluttered desks, chattering televisions and people hunched intently over computers, fingers punching at keyboards. It's evening outside, and in inner-city Surry Hills young office workers gather in bars, empty energy drink cans litter footpaths, and trains zip past in bursts of sound and light. The Sydney newsroom is fired up too, but its juice isn't caffeine or alcohol: it's news...
...surprising number of her body parts. Sami says she's not that good at the gig, except for the fire part, because she's too straight-talking to give the guys the doting, ego-stroking GFE--girlfriend experience--for which they spend the big money.

Each year Americans drink, on average, nearly 600 cans of soda apiece. What does that do to their teeth? Professor J. Anthony von Fraunhofer of the University of Maryland Dental School decided to find out. Fraunhofer and dental student Matthew Rogers took 20 healthy teeth extracted for orthodontic or periodontal reasons, cut them into tiny blocks of tooth enamel and exposed the blocks to a variety of popular soft drinks, including Coke, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Dr Pepper, Sprite, Canada Dry ginger ale and canned Arizona iced tea. All the drinks weakened or permanently destroyed the enamel. Diet sodas were just...
...this for I, Robot: it doesn't push the future in your face. Set in Chicago in 2035, the movie has a sensible, couple-of-years-hence look. Americans of the next '30s, the movie tells us, will still wear vintage sneakers (Converse 2004), drink Ovaltine and get home deliveries from FedEx. (We know this thanks to some of the most obtrusive product placement since Cast Away.) And morose gumshoes will obsessively patrol the streets for sophisticated robots that have an itch to be human. Yes, readers of future past, I, Robot--"suggested by" Isaac Asimov's pioneer collection...
