Smiley pled not guilty in a New Haven court Wednesday to three charges of larceny. His residence on Martha’s Vineyard could not be reached by phone yesterday...
...Sheehan, who's been ensconced outside President Bush's ranch since last weekend protesting what she calls the needless death of her son in Iraq, shades her eyes as she sits on the roadside along Prairie Chapel Ranch Road. She's doing two interviews simultaneously, one on her cell phone and another with a reporter on the scene. Sheehan is surrounded by some 60 supporters and a small roadside field of white crosses.

...aware of the massive technological blind spot that allows criminals and terrorists to communicate undetected on American soil.

In July, Motorola and Microsoft took aim with their wireless e-mail phone, called Q, which will hit stores early next year. Motorola is also rolling out an iTunes phone with Apple. That's more bad news for RIM. Because the BlackBerry is mainly limited to e-mail on its proprietary platform, many execs are switching to smart phones like Palm's Treo that...
