...SLVR L7 has iTunes. Many people have criticized Motorola's forays into Mr. Jobs' neighborhood, and the pattern may well continue: Like the ROKR before it, the SLVR has a low-speed USB connection, meaning it could only load a little over two songs per minute. It also has the famous 100-song limit, though that's part of the deal with Apple. A couple of hobbles still in place, yes, but for the time being, these Motos are the only phones that will play your iTunes purchases directly...
...Finally, I'm worried that it will soon be overshadowed by phones from Samsung and LG, built to run on Cingular's new high-speed network. Verizon and Sprint have radically expanded their entertainment offerings over the past few months and Cingular is apt to try and keep up. The SLVR is sexy and slim, but broadband it ain't.

...things went right for Apolo Ohno during his 2002 Winter Olympic debut.

"No death threats while I was in Korea nor leading up to the competition," says Ohno. "Actually, a very high-ranking Korean speed-skating official was telling me that I may have sparked a fan club! How cool is that...
...There is a caveat, though: Democracy may lead to a chaos of false hopes, but what's the alternative? In the past, regional stability, of a sort, was ensured by U.S. support for extravagantly corrupt and brutal regimes. The high-speed, information-age propaganda and savagery of Osama bin Laden has changed all that, as has the careful provision of social services by groups like Hizballah and Hamas. If the status quo is no longer tenable, as was the case in the Palestinian territories, it's far better for Hamas to come to power via the ballot box than...
