...certainly not a techie--suggests that kids shouldn't use computers. But even industry insiders say parents need to set some guidelines for their use. Mary Furlong, the founder and CEO of Third Age Media, says she steers her two boys, ages 11 and 18, toward creativity-enhancing software like Kid Pix, a drawing program, and SimCity, a strategic-planning game. "Be as careful choosing software as you are with books," she advises parents. "Learn what's right for different ages."

And indeed, Kaye, a British commercials director, is waging a bitter but colorful battle against New Line Cinema, taking out cryptically worded full-page ads in trade magazines imploring, among others, stars ED NORTON and EDDIE FURLONG to help him. Kaye's beef: despite the fact that he has spent more than $1 million of his own money on his new vision for the film, the studio won't let him complete it. Instead it's releasing a version that Norton helped edit. Over at New Line, president...
