WHY THE RIAA OWES US ALL AN APOLOGY

    When recording industry types last week tried
         to get provisions against music swappers
         included in anti-terrorism legislation,
         they trivialized everyone involved in America's
         fight against terrorism--and proved themselves
         to be absolutely the sort of people who'd do
         anything for a buck.

    authentication service. These pleas
    speak of far more than Microsoft's persistence.
    Like what? Like how it plans to become
    another AOL inside an OS.

     PLUS:

      APPLE HINTS AT 'BREAKTHROUGH' DEVICE.
    WHAT COULD IT BE?
