...toddled into the harbor aboard the Svanen, a 120-ft. oak beauty, Crowe was nowhere to be found, and our crew became suspiciously quiet. Once we were past the commuter ferries and tourist boats, the Svanen's engine yawned, and I was told to look toward land. Squinting, I could just make out two shapes bobbing on the waves. One was a woman; the other was Crowe. "This is the real surprise!" said Crowe's publicist. "He's kayaking out to meet you with his personal trainer!" I was surprised, or rather, confused. Was I supposed to be impressed that...
...says, "I'd tell them to get another job. It wouldn't be worth doing. I'm very boring." It must be said that Crowe's normal-guy credentials are impeccable. He loves rugby, throwing back a pint and working on his 800-acre farm near Coffs Harbor, six hours north of Sydney. He also loves playing with his band, 30 Odd Foot of Grunts. The actor-band is an unfortunate cliche of celebrity culture, but TOFOG, as Crowe's group is known, existed well before its lead singer became a household name. (Crowe and guitarist Dean Cochran have been...
...ready are businesses and governments for what onlookers more than 10 years ago began calling a "digital Pearl Harbor"? Physical attacks are targeted to specific geographic areas; if you're not there, you're probably safe. But if you have computers or are affected by them--and that's everybody--you're at risk of inconvenience, intrusion or, technologists fear, much worse.

In 1999 security incidents reported to the CERT Command Center, a federally funded...
That's an awesome task, and it won't be completed overnight. "These threats are not new," asserts Robert Liscouski, Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security, who is shuffling several far-flung federal agencies into one National Cyber Security Division (NCSD). He says "digital Pearl Harbor" scenarios are exaggerated: "That's a bit of an overplay for me, and I get paid to worry about this stuff." In October, Amit Yoran, a former vice president of the Internet security firm Symantec, became head of the NCSD, which will attempt to seek and destroy vulnerabilities in cyberspace, issue warnings in real time...
...Japanese skit, said she felt that "clearly the offense was deliberate. They designed it to insult the audience. No one, including the dancers themselves, could have found the skit funny." The Xi'an riots provide only the most recent evidence of the hostility and distrust some Chinese still harbor toward their neighbors to the East. In September, Chinese Internet chat rooms were inflamed over an orgy involving 500 Chinese prostitutes and 400 Japanese businessmen reported by state press to have taken place in the southern city of Zhuhai. Many Chinese assumed the businessmen were not merely indulging in vice...
