Feds reject protest to nuclear waste storage plan
The Associated Press 
The NRC has not complied with that order,” Swanson said. PG&E spokeswoman Sharon Gavin said, “We are pleased with the commission’s decision and respect the process that was used to make it, which included input from the public. ” She said the ruling would allow the company to remain on-schedule to begin moving spent fuel into dry cask storage in 2009. Following Mothers for Peace’s win in the 9th U. Circuit Court of Appeals in 2006, the attorneys general of New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts challenged NRC decisions on similar grounds, and those are pending. The ultimate outcome of the Diablo Canyon case could have broader ramifications for the nuclear power industry, which is anticipating growth as nuclear power attracts more interest as an energy source that doesn’t generate greenhouse gas emissions.

The iPod: Seven years on
Macworld, CA 
After the courts determined that such devices were indeed legal?that they were not specifically designed as go-between devices that might aid music piracy, but as a final destination for music files?small MP3 players such as the Rio 600 found their way to market. Regrettably, these players stored less than an hour of music without the addition of expensive media storage cards. (And even with these additional storage cards, such players rarely exceeded two hours? playing time. ) Moving MP3 files from the computer to the player over the player?s slow serial-port or USB connection could take a long time, and the software required to move files from one device to another was hardly intuitive. Navigating from song to song on these things was a tedious affair, requiring you to page through menu after menu on a tiny screen. Finally, these players cost upward of a couple hundred dollars. Although the technology was interesting, only gearheads with more money than sense were likely to replace their inexpensive portable CD players with one of these devices.
