Virus writers in search of street cred are nothing new. Nor is the billion-dollar antivirus industry that has sprung up since the mid-1980s. Their cat-and-mouse game evolves every time a flaw is found in Microsoft Windows, which runs on 95% of personal computers worldwide. And flaws in Windows are as plentiful as mosquitoes in August. The other problem is the infrastructure of the Internet itself, which is almost as rickety as Northeastern power lines. Up to 70 security holes are noted every week...
...stamp out Hamas; Yasser Arafat remained effectively in charge, undermining the efforts of Abbas so as to ensure his own continued relevance; Ariel Sharon didn?t take seriously the need for Israel to bolster Abbas and made only token gestures toward the "roadmap," and so on.

Brain scans show their cerebrums are perfectly normal, if not extraordinary. Dyslexics, in fact, seem to have a distinct advantage when it comes to thinking outside...
...course, the commercials have a rather glaring flaw. As the camera pans the landscape, a mountain appears. We have lots of fields and trees in Michigan, but we most certainly do not have any mountains. The commercials were actually shot in New Zealand in January—I guess winter in Michigan would not yield the appropriate “harvest.” Still, it’s a shame that our own scenery couldn’t be recognized...
