...acquisition of the West can be seen as a century-long act of aggression, serious films are more likely to question gun love than to celebrate it. In Aric Avelino's American Gun, a film shown at the Toronto Film Festival last week, the gun is seen as a virtual urban plague that ends young lives, sunders families and turns schools into maximum-security prisons. Andrew Niccol's Lord of War imagines that a Ukrainian-American named Yuri (Nicolas Cage) could rise through the arms-dealing underworld, Scarface-style, spreading the virulence around the globe. There's "one firearm...
...implications for U.S. security are disturbing. In recent years, the counterintelligence community has grown increasingly anxious that Chinese spies are poking into all sorts of American technology to compete with the U.S. But tracking virtual enemies presents a different kind of challenge to U.S. spy hunters. Foreign hackers invade a secure network with a flick of a wrist, but if the feds want to track them back and shut them down, they have to go through a cumbersome authorization process that can be as tough as sending covert agents into foreign lands. Adding in extreme sensitivity to anything involving possible...
...searchable satellite views of the planet. A9.com Amazon's search subsidiary, sent trucks around 22 U.S. cities with digital cameras linked to laptops to photograph every street. So far it has 35 million pictures, which will be overlaid on maps. Microsoft is combining the approaches from the air--its Virtual Earth project is flying planes over cities to take pictures. The aim is to have views from all directions so users can circle buildings onscreen--a bit like being in a video game. "This is going to a fully immersive virtual-reality experience," says Erik Jorgensen, general manager...
...attackers could exploit later. As with many of their tools, this was a simple program, but one that had been cleverly modified to fit their needs, and then used with ruthless efficiency against a vast array of U.S. networks. After performing the scans, the source says, it's a virtual certainty that the attackers returned within a day or two and, as they had on dozens of military networks, broke into the computers to steal away as much data as possible without being detected...
...graduate of Auckland's Elam School. "The story of his life seems somewhere between Gauguin and the hippy movement, and this aspect of his practice is also important and fascinating." Through his research, Stevenson began to see himself in Fairweather. The latter lived his last two decades as a virtual recluse on Queensland's Bribie Island, and the New Zealander, who moved to Berlin in 2002, recognized in Fairweather some of his own ambivalence about the art world. (Stevenson's 2000 show, "Call Me Immendorff," skewered the champagne lifestyle of the German painter who visited Auckland in 1987.) Before...
