...grain Kodachrome movie film, was released in 1965 - and was used to film seemingly every wedding, beach holiday and backyard barbecue for the next decade.

Two years after first entering a team in the IBM-sponsored Computer Olympics (the International Collegiate Programming Contest), the North Koreans made it into the finals. "They are capable of handling very complicated software, and the results are extremely good," says Paul Tjia, a Dutchman whose GPI Consultancy has arranged for several European clients to outsource work to North Korean programmers. At Seoul's Unification Ministry, IT expert Lee Duk Haeng says Samsung and Korean Telecom are among a handful of South Korean firms currently using North Korean engineers...
