WEEK IN REVIEW
=========================================================
1. Tech: Back to Earth with a Thud
>From Business Week (Topic: Intel), Sept. 7:
In the middle of the Sept. 3 tech wreck on Wall Street, chip
giant Intel's lowering of expectations for the current
quarter had at least one upside: It would now be easier for
other tech companies like 3Com, Cypress Semiconductor,
Integrated Device Technology, and Altera to do the same.

2. Drug Makers Consider Adding RFID Tags to Labels
>From USA Today (Topic: RFID), Sept. 7:
Big pharmaceutical companies are testing new tracking
technology they hope will help them spot counterfeit drugs
before they reach consumers' medicine cabinets.

3. Internet's Speed Increases As It Turns 35 Years Old
>From The Washington Post (Topic: Internet), Sept. 5:
(Registration Required)
As the Internet turned 35 last week, Web speed-demons
claimed a new record for how fast data can be transmitted
over computer networks, announcing they had sent the
equivalent of a big fat DVD movie file from Switzerland to
California in a few seconds. The speed record was set by
teams from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech)
and CERN, the European particle physics lab in Switzerland.
Geeks will be pleased to learn that the computer scientists
dispatched 859 gigabytes of data in less than 17 minutes
across 16,000 kilometers of computer networks -- at roughly
6.63 gigabits per second.

4. Pace for Wireless Number Switches Quickens
>From reuters (Topic: Wireless), Sept. 3:
The number of U.S. wireless subscribers who are switching
providers while keeping their telephone numbers is
accelerating, the Federal Communications Commission said on
Friday.

5. Cellphones in Flight Face Technical and Social Hurdles
>From The New York Times (Topic: Wireless), Sept. 2:
(Registration Required)
Business travelers who think there are not enough hours in
the day, take note: in two years there may be a few more at
your disposal. In 2006 the nation's commercial airliners may
begin to allow passengers to make cellphone calls and
connect to the Internet throughout a flight. No longer will
passengers have to cram in their last cellular calls before
takeoff. Instead, they will be able to use standard mobile
phones to make and receive calls while in flight.

6. IBM Recalls 553,000 Laptop Power Units Worldwide
>From Reuters (Topic: IBM), Sept. 2:
IBM said on Thursday it will recall about 553,000 AC power
adapters worldwide for several models of its laptop
computers because of potential fire and electrical shock
hazards. The 56-watt adapters can overheat, cause damage to
the circuit board and melt through the case, the company and
the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.

7. Battle of the Ballot Heats Up
>From MSNBC.com (Topic: E-Voting), Aug. 30:
Although the Nov. 2 presidential election is more than two
months away, the controversy over your vote and how it will
be counted is already in full swing.
http://eletters.cioinsight.com/zd1/cts?d=78-142-1-1-107594-18643-1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8. Speech Applications Voice New Strengths
>From eWeek (Topic: Voice Recognition), Aug. 30:
Companies that want to broaden the range of features in
telephony-based applications now have more options through
speech recognition, but the new technology will require the
development of greater levels of expertise.
