SPECIAL September 13, 2001 - They can't see why they are hated - Americans cannot ignore what their government does abroad - Special report: Terrorism in the US Seumas Milne, The Guardian, Nearly two days after the horrific suicide attacks on civilian workers in New York and Washington, it has become painfully clear that most Americans simply don't get it.

 September 25, 2001 - We Hear You, We Hack You, We See You - Forbes.com staff, Forbes.com, NEW YORK - Many weapons will be deployed in America's new war on terrorism, but none may be more important than the technology that can track and eavesdrop on terrorists. Surveillance solutions from facial recognition camera networks that can search for wanted persons to hacking and data-mining software that can find and read their e-mail are already being called up. Here are the systems and the challenges they face...

 September 19, 2001 - Watching You, Watching Me - Arik Hesseldahl, Forbes.com, NEW YORK - In the wake of last week's terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, Americans are now vaguely aware of the fact that their lives are going to change as more stringent security measures are put in place to try to prevent further carnage. Daily life as we know it is probably going to change, not only at the airport but in the workplace and in mass transit. Get ready to be watched a lot more closely and in a lot more places than before. That means more cameras taking pictures of our faces, more scanners examining what we carry in briefcases and purses. And we may be carrying smart cards...

Even Mac surfers who won't be using it should cheer Netscape Navigator, long since given up for dead on the Mac platform, has risen from the ashes like Mothra in the Japanese monster flicks of my youth.

 September 17, 2001 - What Not To Do - Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr., "Suddenly, after the attack, all of our wealth and all of our freedoms are up for grabs, and not only by foreign terrorists, but by our own government and its uncritical cheerleaders. Is there a limit to how much liberty can be compromised in the name of security? How much spending Congress should authorize? How much money and credit the Federal Reserve should create? How much business can be regulated? Apparently not. But why not? A government unconstrained by law, tradition, or public opinion is nothing short of despotic..."

 September 10, 2001 - Clock speed is not output - By Peter Coffee, eWEEK, COMMENTARY -- Have you ever bought a car because it had an 8,000-rpm engine? No, you haven't. So why would you ever buy a PC because it has a 2GHz CPU? Processor clock speed measures how hard the CPU is being flogged, not how much work it does. As chips depend on ever-more-complex logic (such as Pentium 4 "hyperthreading") and as throughput depends ever more upon a PC's I/O subsystems, it's becoming ever more important to watch our speedometers instead of our tachometers...
