...Perhaps the FBI's most creative post-Hanssen reform is a new analytical unit whose mission will be to look for subtle behavioral clues that may hint at a very guilty conscience. The old-bureau culture was caught up in a "checklist mentality," says Senser, and because Hanssen didn't fit the standard "booze-broads-bills" profile of an espionage suspect, none of his colleagues or supervisors pieced together the wildly disparate parts of his personality. He was racking up computer security violations, experiencing fits of anger and paranoia, spending more than he made and proselytizing even...
...most recognizable in women's dress, but in person he's closer to the Singaporean everyman persona. Dressed in a tan golf shirt and black khakis, he could be a systems analyst on his tea break; only his designer Dolce & Gabbana glasses hint that, unlike much of his core audience, he doesn't go home to a housing block at night. There's little evident ego, and when Neo finds out his interviewer has seen I Not Stupid, he begins firing questions: Was it good? Too local?

...CDMA and TDMA, GSM and GPRS. So in two days I had to be up to snuff on enough of the lingo to find out why Samsung was so hot in chips, TV monitors, computer monitors and cell phones.

New Line exec Russell Schwartz has his own take, with a hint of 9/11: "Even though the movie takes place in a 'created' world, its themes of good vs. evil are more relevant than any movie out there right now." (Translation: If you don't vote for his movie, the terrorists have...
Last June, Erik Weihenmayer, right, became the first blind climber to reach Mount Everest's icy 29,035-ft. peak, and on his way he carved a hint of approachability in the mountain's otherwise treacherous face. Now there's a veritable buffet line of hopeful summiteers, from amputees to an all-woman team to the descendants of the first climbers to reach the peak. It's no easy trek: though a record 182 people made it to the top last year, 90% of Everest climbers fail. --By Sora Song...
