What goes around comes around.
I remember years ago listening to a broadcast of the BBC on public radio. The story was on aid to Africa, specifically technological aid. Seems the average African had little access to electricity at the time. Even in relatively modern South Africa, many did not have access to central power and relied on battery-powered radios for news and information.

Zune-ing into 2009.
So there I sat at my desk in the waning minutes of 2008, staring at my Zune music player and kicking myself in the butt. That morning, I happened to see on my MSN home page that thousands of Zune music players were freezing up when they were powered on. Now, most people would immediately see this as either some sort of time based-virus, or a time-based software glitch that would most likely affect ALL Zune players, right?

Bonding dissimilar materials in electronic packages.
One of the most challenging tasks for electronic materials suppliers might well be bonding chemically dissimilar materials in packages to assure mechanical integrity of the package through thermal cycling, thermal shock, or other environmental stresses or chemical attacks. Conductors and insulating materials tend to have different coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) and are chemically sufficiently different (e.g., hydrophilic/hydrophobic, polar/non-polar) so that they don’t like to stick to each other.

Should the Big Three become the Big Two?
