...fatal flaw of the latest political push is that the result will be little more than a taxpayer-financed windfall for the pharmaceutical industry. Neither bill contains provisions for controlling costs, meaning that, as prescription drug prices continue to rise at double-digit rates, the promised benefits will be quickly outpaced by higher prices...
...RIAA subpoenas that will force schools to disclose student information belie a more fundamental flaw in the association’s method for eliminating file sharing. It is profoundly unfair to target and punish a small subset of the offending population, hoping to make examples of them and scare others away from file sharing. And even if this were justifiable, it is not an effective deterrent. When the initial announcement of the lawsuits against file sharers was made in June, user traffic on Kazaa, one of the most popular platforms for sharing music files, was lower for 10 hours...
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.

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...

But in a day when fashion magazines are publishing "Frankenstars"--women assembled for the page by bolting a head from one shot to a body from another--some of the flesh-and-blood stars are protesting. In recent months Kate Winslet and Julia Roberts have complained that they were unreasonably remade (not by Dangin) on magazine covers. "Postproduction capability should not be looked at as a voodoo practice," he insists...
