Mounting anger over violence in the West Bank and Gaza has created a domestic political crisis for Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, because of their governments' alliances with Israel's key sponsor, the U.S. That's a domestic crisis al-Qaeda will be looking to exploit in its efforts to find the men and money to grow its networks...

One solution: make spots more entertaining, as research shows that even PVR users are likely to watch a commercial they find amusing. Advertisers aim to exploit data about which shows and spots viewers are skipping and which they're watching (since the technology can track one's TV habits), and they plan to use that knowledge to send ads, infomercials and special deals targeted to a household's income and interests. TiVo has sent its subscribers promos from Lexus and Best Buy, and this month they will...
