Life on Earth Is Feeling the Heat: A variety of species, from frogs to flowering plants, have demonstrated changed behavior in response to increasing world temperatures over the last few decades. According to the results of two studies published today in the journal Nature, these changes are not isolated events, but instead represent a worldwide pattern, or "fingerprint," of global warming.

High Style: Writing under the influence.
In 1819, when Sir Walter Scott read the proofs of "The Bride of Lammermoor," which he had written while taking laudanum, "he claimed that he did not recognise a single character, incident or conversation found in the book."
This is not to say that our decades-long recreational-drug binge has had no effect on the arts. It might not have had much effect on literature, but there is one art form that has been shaped from top to bottom by drugs, and that would not exist in anything like its current form without them: music. The effect of drugs and the culture of drugs permeate the story of popular music.

There's No Place Like Home - Why American teens don't want the new cell phones: The primacy of home Internet access in the United States has led to the sub-par debut of Short Messaging Service on these shores. This year, 1.5 billion SMS notes will zing through American air—which sounds impressive until you hear that Europe averages 30 billion messages a month. The killjoy is the popularity of PC-based alternatives such as AOL Instant Messaging. If you're an American teen who already logs onto your PC for 90 minutes a day, how much more IM-ing can you stand?

How Do Super-Intelligent Billboards Spy on Your Car Radio? A new breed of electronic billboards that can alter their text and graphics every hour monitors the radio-listening habits of passing motorists.
New Billboards Sample Radios as Cars Go By, Then Adjust: [Tom] Langeland, chief executive of the Alaris Media Network, intends to deduce demographic information from the radio stations drivers are listening to and then display advertising aimed at them based on income, sex, race and buying habit data. He said the idea was not to single out individuals, but drivers en masse. For instance, if a preponderance of rush-hour drivers are tuned to a radio station known to have affluent or educated listeners, then the advertisements at that time would be aimed at them.

IHT begins new era with The New York Times: The International Herald Tribune, descendant of an American paper first published in Paris in 1887, is appearing Thursday for the first time under the sole ownership and management of The New York Times Co.
The takeover ends an anomalous 35-year partnership between The Times and its domestic competitor, The Washington Post, that produced a journalistic hybrid consisting mainly of articles and editorials from both papers compiled by editors in Paris.

Portugal pode ter 'Forbes' editada por grupo Cofina
A decisão ainda não está tomada, nem há nenhum prazo definido, mas o DN apurou que o negócio está a ser equacionado no interior do grupo liderado por Paulo Fernandes. Até porque esta edição teria, à partida, asseguradas várias páginas de publicidade de empresas multinacionais norte-americanas instaladas em Portugal, por desdobramento dos contratos celebrados com a revista-mãe.
