Magazines, since they attempt to package information with big color photos, look even cooler as applications. Lynch fires up (Red)Wire, a music magazine that's delivered only as an AIR application. (The enterprise raises money for AIDS in Africa and is backed by Bono and other well-known musicians.) The appgazine looks like a folded box when it launches onscreen; Lynch clicks, and it unfolds, revealing a kind of table of contents. It's startling, it's cool. And you can't get it for free: (Red)Wire, which launched Dec. 10, charges...
...Currently a few newspapers, most notably the Wall Street Journal, charge for their online editions by requiring a monthly subscription. When Rupert Murdoch acquired the Journal, he ruminated publicly about dropping the fee. But Murdoch is, above all, a smart businessman. He took a look at the economics and decided it was lunacy to forgo the revenue - and that was even before the online ad market began contracting. Now his move looks really smart. Paid subscriptions for the Journal's website were up more than 7% in a very gloomy 2008. Plus, he spooked the New York Times into dropping...
...condition in which the two planets would share a tree of life and contamination would be less of a concern. If there really were a second genesis on Mars, "contamination by even one Earth bacterium may be a serious issue of environmental ethics," McKay writes. We only have to look back at the damage that invasive species have inflicted on virgin territory on our planet, like the infamous cane toads that ravaged Australia, to know what Earth bacteria could do on an alien surface.

During the Vietnam war, America's image of the conflict was shaped by news footage of battlefields dominated by miasmal jungle and of an enemy who was often portrayed as merciless and inhuman. But the war doesn't look that way in the drawings, poems, letters and oral histories compiled in Mekong Diaries. Author Sherry Buchanan journeyed across Vietnam to gather previously unpublished material from 10 Vietnamese artists who resisted the U.S. The resulting volume is a moving alternative to common American narratives of the war and offers extraordinary insight into Vietnamese hearts, military and civilian...
...Sense of Place Look under the surface of any issue on the border, and its central paradox soon becomes clear. Securing a border is an effort to draw a bright, clear line marking exactly where the state begins and ends. That was never an easy task in India, where the line meant to separate Hindu and Muslim villages nevertheless left millions of Bengali-speaking Muslims on both sides. Rather than settling the 60-year-old questions about who belongs to whom, fencing India's border has only resurrected them...
