"Once people are locked into using iTunes, the game's over," says Charles Wolf, an analyst at the New York City--based Needham & Co. investment bank.

...watts of waste heat. Kamen decided to try to use that heat to make clean water. There are 6,000 deaths from contaminated water every day, according to the U.N., and safe water is one of the world's more urgent problems. Kamen's device uses that extra heat to distill water--boil it and condense it. Nothing new about that Kamen has invented lots of things, but he didn't invent distillation. The trick is to do it using as little energy as possible. However, 1,000 watts of heat won't boil much water, so Kamen developed...

More expensive flu damage may come later, if the lost publicity ends up slowing sales of the new CD in Europe. And frankly, these days Spears could use a little extra sales help from every continent: her last album, 2001's Britney, sold 4 million copies - hardly a flop but still less than half the numbers each of her previous CDs racked...
