...Even in an age humming with electronic innovation, the new takes its baby steps in the boot prints of the old. Many of the cyber-knickknacks on our Tech 10 Best are binary clones of old friends. PayPal is the next Western Union; the Nikon Coolpix 900 is the spawn of the Brownie. Nike will customize your sneakers, just the way your "artistic" aunt did for your eighth birthday. And Napster: free access to worlds of music! It used to be called radio...
...tell if an undervoted ballot was intended by the voter to register a vote? With most undervoted ballots - three-quarters, perhaps more - there's simply no indication of a vote. These ballots are true undervotes.

As much as he's stolen a march and confounded his opponents' best-laid plans, Barak's advantage may only be temporary. After all, he's the peace candidate, and conventional wisdom in Israel's punditocracy has been that Barak can't win reelection unless he has a peace agreement with the Palestinians on which to base his campaign. The continuing violence, which showed signs of escalating last Friday in a day of clashes that killed seven Palestinians...
