...evolved in a harsh selective environment, with MTV being the only outlet for them for 25 or 30 years. What we know as the music video is a response to what could get played on MTV. If your video wasn't played on MTV, it might as well not exist because there was no other way for it to get shared with the universe. That selective pressure is almost totally gone now. There's an opening for music videos to be something other than straight marketing. The way our band views videos is they're really something we make...

Only 34% of Skype calls even use video. And when Skype announced on Jan. 5 at the Consumer Electronics Show that we'll soon have videophones on our televisions, everyone went right back to talking about which...
...Qaeda operated a document center at the Kandahar airport. All that would be virtually impossible today, as hordes of counterterrorism officials scrutinize financial transactions and cell-phone calls, and drones track al-Qaeda leaders around the clock. And while government no-fly lists remain flawed, at least they exist. Today, the number of suspected terrorists prohibited from boarding a plane in the U.S. is about 4,000. Before Sept. 11, according to al-Qaeda expert Peter Bergen, it was 16. (See pictures of a jihadist's journey...
