Carbon-14 Dating Reveals 5% of Vintage Wines May Be Frauds 336

Carbon dating isn't used only for such academic pursuits as trying to determine the age of the Shroud of Turin, or figure out how old some rocks are. An anonymous reader writes "Up to 5% of fine wines are not from the year the label indicates, according to Australian researchers who have carbon-dated some top dollar wines."

Yeah, it is a way better phone in MY mind too. Sadly the processor could be faster, (although the software updates should take care of a good chunk of the lag problem)... The marketing from Sprint probably won't be nearly as effective as Apple/ATT either... so I'm thinking killing the iPhone won't happen despite being an all around better phone. But damn I can't wait until this thing launches here!

Just waiting for the HTC Hero to hit the US on a carrier larger then t-mobile! (rumor dates are Oct 11th on Sprint...released in Europe in June) This phone seems to be in the same league as the iPhone and may help increase Android's popularity.
