...Attention, bland rock bands of today: pay close attention to R.E.M. and their 20 years of experience.

The Federal Trade Commission reports that a group of clever hackers from Portugal and Australia is co-opting AltaVista searches and rerouting users to pornography sites. When a web user types in a search - "computer games," for example - they are zipped over to a cyber porn site, with little possibility of escape.
