Hurricane intensity is measured by the drop in pressure in the eye of the storm. A US air force reconnaissance plane measured a pressure of 898 millibars. Lower pressures have been recorded in only two other storms: 888 millibars in Hurricane Gilbert in 1988 and 892 millibars in the "Labor Day" hurricane that hit Key West in 1935. Average pressure at sea level is 1013.25 millibars.
Sony to cut 10,000 jobs.

The 10,000 positions to be eliminated represent about 7 percent of Sony's global work force. The company said it will slash 4,000 jobs in Japan and 6,000 jobs elsewhere by 2008.

The project assigns a unique identifier to a particular piece of malicious software. When included in security software, in alerts and in virus encyclopedia entries, this identifier should help people determine which pest is hitting their systems and whether they are protected, the initiative's backers said.
LCD oversupply means good prices.

The oversupply will continue at similar levels until the fourth quarter of 2006, iSuppli predicts. Exacerbating the effect was slower-than-expected production of flat TVs and computer monitors, and sluggish sales. Shipments of LCD monitor panels outstrip sales of actual monitors, and inventories of 19-inch panels are beginning to accumulate.
