Assuming you want your free iPod extras to be a little more legal, here's a handy shopping list. First, go to www.apple.com/ipod and make sure you have version 1.1 of the iPod software. This will let you export your address book from programs like Palm Desktop and Microsoft Entourage. Check out iPoding.com or iPodhacks.com for other address-book formats. Then go to VersionTracker.com and search for iPod (specify Mac OS 9 or OS X) to see which of the following goodies are available for your machine...
...countries don't suffer for being rude - they are celebrated for it, and their economies and tourist industries are booming. So why not learn from our foreign friends and make our own special brand of rudeness part of the "American experience?" It could be a real windfall.

But the U.S. government believes that on any one day between 10 and 80 international terrorists with links to al-Qaeda are in the Gorge. Most are from Saudi Arabia or Jordan, with possibly some Algerians. Washington will not say what al-Qaeda is doing there...
...Wang and his colleagues made friends with the employees of the nearby Zhengzhou Ceramics Plant, which produced dinner plates for export to the U.S. Workers there say they received no severance pay after the plant went bankrupt and merged with a private company, so they took over the factory two years ago. Police tried to force them out; workers from Wang's factory joined in to keep the siege going. Recently, both factories were shut down. Shi Jian, the ceramics factory workers' leader, went into hiding after receiving threats to his life. In February 1999, he returned home to visit...
