Carpenter thought he was making progress. When he uncovered the Titan Rain routers in Guangdong, he carefully installed a homemade bugging code in the primary router's software. It sent him an e-mail alert at an anonymous Yahoo! account every time the gang made a move on the Net. Within two weeks, his Yahoo! account was filled with almost 23,000 messages, one for each connection the Titan Rain router made in its quest for files. He estimates there were six to 10 workstations behind each of the three routers, staffed around the clock. The gang stashed its stolen...
...says. "But they are so afraid of taking risks that they wasted all this time investigating me instead of going after Titan Rain." Worse, he adds, they never asked for the passwords and other tools that could enable them to pick up the investigative trail at the Guangdong router...
...Though I rank setting up a Slingbox as a much easier task than configuring a wireless network or, say, building a bird feeder, you are expected to have a wired or wireless network router already in place, and know a bit about networking. The best way to connect a Slingbox to your router (besides plugging it in directly) is via a powerline Ethernet bridge, like the Netgear XE102 ($60 each). You actually need two-one to connect to the Slingbox in your TV room, and another to pick up the signal in the room where your router is. The setup...

Ethernet allows telecoms to use Internet equipment like routers to direct traffic around the network, and it can cost one-tenth as much as other networking gear. "We noticed Ethernet kept getting cheaper and cheaper and cheaper, so we said we'd better take advantage of that," says Alcatel chief technology officer Niel Ransom. Indeed, Alcatel's innovation...
