Belgrade, Serbia (CNN) — When police burst into the garden of the small house in northern Serbia where Europe’s highest-ranking war crimes suspect had been hiding, the former Bosnian Serb general was found standing against a wall in a utility room normally used for storing farm equipment, a government minister told CNN. Ratko Mladic — the target of a near 16-year manhunt — gave himself up without a fight, despite being in possession of two handguns, according to Rasim Ljajic, the minister in charge of searching for fugitive suspected war criminals. Officials located Mladic in a village called Lazarevo, north of the Serbian capital, after culling information from his former comrades, those…

Sounds like Notbooks are making a dent: AMD says it’s shipped five million Fusion processors since the architecture’s debut, according to a report at CNET . In January, the company said the hybrid CPU / GPU chips had momentum , and as of last month it was quoting 3.9 million APUs out in the wild, but this week AMD says that demand has overtaken supply and it’s completely sold out of the Atom alternative . Sounds like Intel’s more than justified in seeking out hybrid solutions of its own , no matter where it might have to look to get a leg up in the integrated graphics market. Here’s hoping AMD’s other Fusion chips show just as much pep per penny (and milliampere-hour) as the original processor.

Ross Rubin contributes Reserve Power , a column focused on personal perspectives and products. With handset screens getting larger and applications such as streaming primetime shows and video chat becoming more prevalent, it’s not surprising that some handsets such as the HTC Evo 4G include a built-in kickstand. Most phones, though, suffer from LifeCall commercial syndrome — when they’ve fallen, they can’t get up. To offer some assistance, a whole cottage industry of pocketable products – many with inventive designs — have appeared to let you enjoy your handset’s screen without your hands in the way. But how universal are they? I tested a variety of popular and unusually-shaped handsets — including the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4, Droid 2, Droid X, BlackBerry Bold and BlackBerry Torch, Palm Pre, HP Veer, Samsung Captivate and the monstrous Samsung Infuse — finding, for example, that some phones fit in some stands only when their physical keyboards were extended. Surprised at how well a few of the stands held up, I even tried them with a few tablets, including the BlackBerry PlayBook, Apple iPad and Motorola Xoom. This column will introduce the first six devices after the break, while the next Reserve Power will discuss several more, conclude with my favorites, and link to a spreadsheet detailing which devices and stands paired appropriately with one another.
