If the Lord of the Rings trilogy were written today
One pair of 3D glasses to rule them all (CNET) — The good news about the 3D TVs coming out this spring and summer is that they’ll come packed with two pairs of 3D lenses. The bad news? Those plastic glasses work only with the brand of TV with which they’re shipped. That means that […]

Fatwa pronounced against terrorists
Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) — A fatwa, or religious ruling, issued this week is roiling theological waters after it took aim at those notorious for targeting others: terrorists.
