...Alabama and Alaska, bother to ask the names of the real owners. After incorporation, these anonymous companies can open U.S. bank or brokerage accounts, or obtain credit cards, all of which lend some U.S. legitimacy - the better to evade scrutiny or entrap more victims. In fact, the U.S. just might be the world's biggest washing machine for dirty money. (See the worst business deals...
...time-traveled back to 1995 and asked the leading futurists of that time where our machines were soon to take us, you might well have heard just as much rhapsodizing about document-centric interfaces as that about hypertext and the World Wide Web. The first generation of software interfaces forced the user to think too much about the tools, the story went, and too little about the task.

But Apple doesn't talk very much about the future. Presumably, this is because it's too busy inventing...
...domestic political instability since the 1979 revolution. One state broadcaster recently suggested that much of the postelection protest was the result of sexual frustration on the part of young people and that the best way to resolve political crisis would be to marry them off. As pleasant as that might be for all involved, Iranians are unlikely to kiss and make up any time soon, and there may yet be months of turmoil ahead before the political matchmaking behind the scenes shows any results...
