...applications that have been developed just for the iPhone. You'll find tons of games (I like JirboBreak, a free game inspired by the Atari classic Breakout) and mobile versions of popular websites like Pandora, Facebook, MySpace and the New York Times. Most apps will cost you, but the vast majority are $9.99 or less. The apps work on the old iPhones too, but you'll enjoy them a lot more on the iPhone 3G because many of the programs, including Yelp (local business reviews), Whrrl (mobile social networking) and UrbanSpoon (restaurant reviews), use your exact location - provided...

Estrogen and other hormones in relatively tiny amounts can cause vast changes, so some researchers worry that BPA and phthalates could do the same, especially in young children. Animal studies on BPA found that low-dose exposure, particularly during pregnancy, may be associated with a variety of ills, including cancer and reproductive problems. Some human studies on phthalates linked exposure to declining sperm quality in adult males, while other work...

...Given the acrimony between BP and its partners, it's not hard to see why the Brits might welcome Gazprom. Likewise, Gazprom may be more attuned to the benefits of having a foreign partner with deep pockets and a long-term outlook. To help develop a vast gas field in the Barents Sea, Gazprom teamed up with Norwegian oil firm StatoilHydro and French giant Total last year, indicating there's still an openness to such partnerships, even as Russia gains confidence in its ability to fly solo. Moreover, Moscow is under pressure to reverse a worrisome slowdown in the nation...
