âSure itâs got a faster processor, but itâs the display that will blow you away,â writes Ken Mingis . â Iâm talking in this case about the latest MacBook Pro to grace my desk, the top-of-the-line 17-in. model with a glossy 1,920-by-1,200-pixel high-resolution screen.â That screen, he extols, âis without a doubt the best-looking LCD screen Apple has produced in what also happens to be the fastest laptop from the company yet. In a word: suh-weet.â

If all goes to plan, my research colleagues and I will have front row seats to spectacular New Year fireworks. These are not the artificial bangs and whistles that shoot a few hundred yards into the sky, but the awe-inspiring impact of cosmic dust moving at astronomical speeds. These bits of comet dust travel through space faster than Santa's sled, spanning the distance from Los Angeles to New York in a mere minute and a half. When they hit Earth, the impact of a grain of sand shines so brightly it can be seen for hundreds of miles around. They are called "meteors."
