...More ? So the party runs a risk. When Jiang climbed the rostrum over Tiananmen Square for his maestro performance, he forever linked his party with the Olympics. The flip side of that joyous celebration in the capital last week is that Chinese could blame their leaders if they blow the Games. That has raised expectations that the government may modify its behavior to ensure success?and its own survival...
...dream of using the technology to sell new shows like The Sopranos; tomorrow they could use it to make every TV into an a la carte TV museum. (If they don't, someone else might: already hackers are swapping digitized video files, raising the prospect of Napsterized TV.)

You?re walking down an old-fashioned wooden boardwalk, the kind with slats between the boards. Maybe you?re eating an ice-cream cone. You?re feeling happy, carefree. You?re enjoying the slap-slap sound your flip-flops are making against the wood. Suddenly, one foot catches in a slat, and you?re falling, falling, and landing on roughly hewn wood. You?ve lost your composure and your ice-cream cone. You have, however, gained...
