...removed from the standard beige box of the day as could be imagined. Ive's next major designs would be the iPod and then the iPhone. Apple's transformation from underdog to the biggest beast in the jungle was under way. And look what's iPadding through the undergrowth toward...
Sources close to Hizballah said that dozens of the group's fighters deployed from southern Beirut to the Qmatiyeh area on Monday night, taking up position in the woods and dense undergrowth surrounding the village to protect its residents from Druze incursions. Hizballah is thought to have lost 13 fighters in the battle with the Druze militants, a significant number for one of the world's most professional guerrilla armies.

It was in the thick undergrowth south of this border village that the seeds of the war between Israel and Hizballah were sown. On July 12, a squad of Hizballah fighters slipped across the border under the cover of a rocket barrage to snatch two Israeli soldiers. For Israel, it was one provocation too many from...
