...Despite Google's refusal to turn over data on people's Internet use to U.S. prosecutors, the company is actually betraying its customers' trust by retaining information on every search and resultant Web-page retrieval. If phone companies logged the content of everybody's phone calls, consumers would be outraged. Perhaps Google's respecting the privacy of its customers is not congruent with the goal of Internet domination. Ed R. Bauman Santa Monica, California...

...nose and mouth so he can breathe more easily in the smoky subway.The photograph, one of the best examples to date of a phenomenon many call citizen journalism, reflects the democratization of information. The collision of media and technology has given us powerful, inexpensive tools to create digital content, ranging from blogs to podcasts to videos and more. Distribution, too, has been opened via global communications networks. But as these media floodgates open, the sheer quantity of information available will force citizens to develop new tools to filter media sources and develop a more skeptical approach to what they read...

Because with Star Wars in 1977, Lucas spurred another revolution: the triumph of the special-effecty, kid-friendly fantasy blockbuster. With space-age technique and retro, '40s-serial content, the film made so much money, it seduced the studios and fired the imaginations of directors.

...brave new digital world, form is defining content. Because the toys are so cool, directors make movies to exploit their technical possibilities. That's why James Cameron, after doing Titanic, the all-time top grosser, stopped making feature films to shoot underwater documentaries with his favorite new toy, the 3-D camera. Going back to his old camera, he told ComingSoon.net "just seemed like going back from a car to a bicycle." Battle Angel, his first feature since 1997, will be shown in 3-D. (And yes, with the funny glasses.) Lucas is planning to release all six Star Wars...

From her home in Spring, Texas, Crawford, 33, produced all the RNC's Web videos and Internet ads in 2004. In '08, she imagines, she'll be cranking out entertaining, semipolitical content for the party faithful almost hourly. "I try not to make [the videos] political at all," says Crawford, "because anything political gets an automatic negative reaction, even from people with a strong party affiliation. They want humor." During the election, the RNC bought the domain name kerryoniraq.com and Crawford stocked it with a video string of John Kerry sound bites about the war, adding to it every time...
