TIME's earlier efforts at this kind of global-community journalism have received terrific response. Thousands reacted to our Sierra Leone story, including a group that flew some amputees to the U.S. for treatment. And a wealthy businessman, after reading our AIDS-orphans story, written by Nairobi bureau chief Simon Robinson, plucked some of the children from the hellhole where they were living and relocated them to a house in suburban Harare, Zimbabwe. For people residing in the world's worst places, that kind of generous help is as close to a miracle as anything they could...

Those who earn the most in tips win the game. And here's a nice surprise: unlike most computer games, this one's a hybrid, meaning it'll run on either a Windows PC or a MacIntosh...
...wasn't willing to give up the domain name. "You could probably get joelstein.net, he offered, like some sleazy real estate agent trying to sell me a beach house 10 blocks from the ocean. This was shaping up as the greatest fight for personal identity since Senator Paul Simon showed up on Saturday Night Live the same night as the singing Paul Simon. As an opening battle cry, I decided to mention joelstein.com in this column in hopes that the site gets so flooded with visits that it freezes up. I don't know if this is how the technology...
