Battle Of The Hd Formats
We are all asking the same question who will win the HD format war, will it be the HD DVD which is cheaper to produce but lacks the capacity of the more expensive but larger Blu Ray Disks.

HD DVD was developed along similar lines by the DVD forum, another association of high level electronic manufacturing companies in the opposing camp we have companies including Toshiba and NEC, HD DVD is there replacement for standard DVD’s.
Should Cigarettes Be Legal
It is becoming more and more socially unacceptable to smoke cigarettes and in the UK it is illegal to smoke indoors in Public places like pubs, Offices and Clubs. People are still however continuing to smoke at home where there are children and other non-smokers being subjected to the harmful effects of second hand smoke.
Let’s assume that cigarettes have not been invented yet but some budding entrepreneur has stumbled across the formula for them. The following is the conversation with the Patent Office to register them.
“I would like to apply for a Patent for my new invention called Tobacco.

Way To Go Choco
Whoever says chocolates aren’t good for the health is sourgraping. Chocolates taste heavenly for those with a sweet tooth. Rightly so because chocolates come from the cacao tree Theobroma, a Greek word which literally means “food of the gods.”
Chocoholics may actually benefit from eating their favorite food. One study covering 8,000 male Harvard graduates revealed that those who ate chocolates lived longer than those who abstained. This can be traced to chocolate’s high levels of polyphenol which lower the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins and prevent heart problems. Although this has not been fully confirmed, it sure is one positive news.
Hats Are Healthy
American history buffs know the sad but true story of William Henry Harrison’s short tenure as President. Mr. Harrison chose not to wear a hat to his inauguration; he caught pneumonia and died within the month. Twenty or so years ago – sometime during the Reagan administration – I created a hangtag for our stores that read “Hats Are Healthy”. By it, I meant not against the cold but rather against the harmful effects of the sun. I quoted two agencies (see the tag at the Great Hats For the Great Outdoors page at our site). I was ambivalent about these tags because on the one hand, I wanted to call people’s attention to the need to put on sunscreen and wear hats (and other protective clothing), but on the other, I felt guilty profiting from fear. Furthermore, our hat business had been successful because our stores were fun and although the “hats are healthy” message was valid, I didn’t want to overemphasize it. (An atmosphere of a serious clinic was an unproven model for a successful hat shop.) In any case, I figured that in short order most people would get the message anyway and be wearing hats, along with sunscreen, and therefore, calling attention to headwear as protective clothing would soon be as unnecessary as calling attention to the merits of sunscreen.
