Why is the Wii wilting?

Nintendo's Wii has been one of the most profitable games consoles ever sold, and after its launch in 2006, Nintendo took months to satisfy pent-up demand. This enabled the company to charge a premium price for its hardware and make large profits while rivals such as Sony and Microsoft were losing money on every machine they

Chemistry Nobel goes to ribosomes, the protein manufacturer

Ribosomes are the manufacturing machines for proteins, which participate in almost every chemical reaction key to life. To study the chemistry of life, it is essential to know the functions and structure of the ribosome.

Levi Johnston's nuts ad: A few quick questions

Levi Johnston, of Sarah Palin’s grandbaby daddy fame, has showed up in a new ad for Wonderful Pistachios.

After viewing it a couple of times, I have four quick questions:

1) Are we to believe that people outside of Levi Johnston’s caribou hunting club (and perhaps Kathy Griffin’s fanbase) actually recognize him when he struts awkwardly down on the street, let alone yell

Police Arrest Suspects After University of South Florida Lockdown

Two men are in custody after several warnings were sent to students of a possible gunman on the University of South Florida's Tampa campus.

A police spokesman told the Tampa Tribune a man stood up on a campus bus and said he was the one authorities were looking for. He told them he had a bomb, but later said it was just a hoax, spokeswoman Laura McElroy told the newspaper.

Kanye West cancels American tour

A North American tour by Kanye West has been cancelled just weeks after he was criticised for storming on stage at an awards ceremony.

The rap star has experienced widespread negative publicity since he interrupted country star Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards.

He told her Beyonce should have won the best female award instead.

No reason has been given but West has admitted he needed to take time off to grieve for his mother.

Michelle Obama arrives in Copenhagen for IOC vote

Michelle Obama didn't waste any time impressing International Olympic Committee members.

As the first lady walked through the hotel lobby Wednesday, she spotted IOC member Nicole Hoevertsz, who only a day earlier had been appointed permanent secretary of Aruba's Council of Ministers.

"She said, 'Congratulations on your new appointment.' She already knew," Hoevertsz said. "That was a very nice detail."

Mrs. Obama arrived here Wednesday to lend her support to Chicago's

Sarah Palin, a Soon-to-Be Publishing Phenom

Sarah Palin may no longer be governor of Alaska, but she's certainly destined to become a best-selling author. HarperCollins, her publisher, has announced the print-run of her memoir will be a staggering 1.5 million copies -- equal to the print-run of Senator Ted Kennedy's posthumous autobiography published this month. Publishing sources tell me that such a giant run is only ordered up when there is clear evidence from booksellers and surveys of massive interest in a book.

The book, wh

What Will Change in Germany?

In the final hours of her campaign for re-election, Chancellor Angela Merkel proclaimed that anchoring worldwide the principles of the German economic and social model would be a main task of a new government in Berlin.

Mrs. Merkel said this was a matter “of the defense of our ideals,” according to a dispatch from the German-language service of The Associated Press.

To say the least, here was a fairly puzzling and even contradictory statement about where the world’s leading exp
