...lifeline-style Outback trivia game to hand out the week's reward - which was neither food nor shelter but a half-hour "private chat" for Tina and her family. (And a $500 shopping spree, courtesy of the good folks at - well, I'm not telling. Take that, capitalist pigs.) Nothing like Internet-homesickness - set of course to a tinkling piano score - to make rugged survivalism cuter than a well-worn teddy bear. This is what we get for tuning in every week like Pavlovian dogs? Grown men crying...
...sees as dangerous millennarian cults. Accessing the World Trade Organization and integrating itself more completely into the international economy demands that Beijing accelerate rather than ease the pain of economic liberalization - a prospect that horrifies its more security-oriented hard-liners.

A former venture capitalist, Mao engineered Sina's creation by arranging a merger between a U.S. Internet start-up and a Chinese software company. Soon he may preside over its resale. Mao contemplates the latest street buzz: AOL is rumored to be trying to acquire community portal Netease, while Microsoft is said...
...potential. "It's almost impossible to find a man of his size who runs the court so well," says Terry Rhoads, marketing director for Nike in China. "I could see him ending up as the No. 1 draft pick this June." But Yao's bid is caught up in capitalist wrangling?and Chinese political calculations. His team, the Shanghai Sharks, is holding out for a hefty deal to compensate giving up its showcase player. And in a weird twist of realpolitik, Yao's chances of playing in the States could depend on his national rival Wang's hoop success...
