- What a year it's been in gadgetry! Just 12 short months ago, I was blissfully sleeping in, rising only to attend state-mandated skill focus classes. Yet your unwavering appetite for plastic-clad consumer gear pressed me into service, like a fireman who ignores his high score in Bubble Bobble to rescue a burning baby, or the food engineer who developed Wendy's Wild Mountain Spicy Chicken sandwich to address America's flavor cravings. As we prepare ourselves for next week's electronics orgy of CES... |

- In April, Sony announced its intentions to produce a hard disk-based music player. At the time, we didn't know it would be awful. ...

- 2004 was a good year for gamers. Along with the smash-hit titles such as Doom 3, Half-Life 2, and Halo 2, there were a number of solid entries in nearly every genre. With games in all genres topping the charts, from Half-Life 2 to Rome: Total War, you didnЂ™t have to be a strategy guy or a shooter guy in order to find a great game. The whole idea that a specific genre was going to make or break a companyЂ™s game lineup was thrown out the w... |

- Surfacing from the deluge of news reports about the devastation of coastal Thailand fishing towns, political sniping at the amount of aid pledged by the United States, and frustrated Western seismologists staring at flashing instruments without the phone numbers of anybody in Sumatra, one realizes that only certain details of the tragedy seem to linger -- all of them being small, individual acts of heroism. |

- Vitamin E is one of the most popular supplements taken by people, and for good reason, it is an amazing supplement. I have been taking vitamin E for over thirty years. However many of you are likely taking the wrong form. By far the most popular form of vitamin E is the alpha tocopherol form. Alpha-tocopherol has justifiably earned a good reputation as an antioxidant, which helps to fight against damage caused by unwanted free radicals, but its familiarity has perhaps attracted research away from the other seven forms of vitamin E. |

- Юрий Левада (социолог, глава Левада-центра (ВЦИОМ)) Этот год был невероятно тяжелым для России. Мы упустили темп, и направление рационального развития. Стало больше действий, которые стало трудно объяснять с рациональных позиций. События на международной арене, и в первую очередь на Украине, показали, что навыков работы с такими ситуациями в России нет. Это добавляет тревог. |
