...fact, when that first phone launched, most people believed that the apps it would run would be retooled Web apps - you'd visit a New York Times mobile website that was optimized for the iPhone's browser, for instance. (One popular theory advanced by Apple insiders is that Steve Jobs himself was against an Apple apps play for a long time and only came around to the notion late in the iPhone's development.) Look at the lip service Apple itself paid to the "Web 2.0" integration - developing for the iPhone would be as open and easy as creating websites...

Obama also has tapped...
...those already involved. "Terrorist violence always acts as a kind of propaganda that is fundamental for maintaining group unity," says terrorism expert Alonso. But with the organization in decline, violence also has an obscuring effect. "Now it's become a way for a considerably weakened ETA to hide the fact that with firm action from the state, an unstoppable process of disintegration would begin," he adds. If the 2006 peace process is any indication, that firm action would have to couple a police crackdown with concessions - such as amnesty or a transfer of ETA prisoners to jails in the Basque...
