Lacey Rose
by Lacey Rose  6-9-2009    1
 As NBC tests the waters with another (risky) hour of late-night fare (in prime-time) CBS is wise to hold on to its stable alternative. After a decade-plus at no. 2, the tiffany network's veteran host has a real shot at poaching former Leno viewers and winning the ratings war.

Obama to Lunch with Credit Card Execs
Maurna Desmond
by Maurna Desmond  4-22-2009   
 Credit card debt is a huge burden to the average American. Since rates can jump at anytime to any level, cash-strapped consumers are at the mercy of cc companies. Here's an idea: why not refinance credit card debt instead of mortgages? That's the real interest rate crunch and principle writedowns wouldn't be necessary since it's the interest accruing and not the amount owed that's the trouble.

 Outsiders meaning firms with absolutely no connection to Apple. Ubergizmo spotted this clamshell, iPod-like design (above) from China's HiPhone. Other knockoffs (like the second example, from Thailand) are just scaled-down versions of the original iPhone. Apple will likely update the iPhone line in June.

Solar Power From Space!
Elizabeth Woyke
by Elizabeth Woyke  4-16-2009   
 Cool idea: collect solar energy via satellite, convert it into radio signals, beam it down to Earth, and convert it into electricity. As commenters note, it's an idea that's been kicked around since the 1960's. But a new agreement between PG&E and Solaren Corp. means it's likely to actually happen.
