This Apple falls farther from the tree

The new iMac may share the name of its predecessor, but its desk-lamp design has little in common with the old egg-shaped model.

A 15-inch flat screen attaches by a swivel bar to a small hemisphere that holds the innards of the computer. "This is the best thing I think we've ever done," said Steve Jobs, chief of Apple Computer Inc., at last week's unveiling. It will form a digital hub to which cameras, music players, and other devices can be connected, Mr. Jobs said.

Apple has made a name for itself with revolutionary products and designs, though it has less than 5 percent of the market. Three different models of the iMac will be released over the next few months, ranging in price from $1,299 to $1,799.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
