GOOGLING VIDEO Apple's got iTunes, and now Google has a video store. The cost of content varies: CSI rerUns are $1.99, and NBA games are $3.95. For now, most network programming is protected and viewable only on a PC. Everything else can be seen on an iPod or a Sony...
...Take risks, and expect to make lots of mistakes, because creativity is a numbers game. Work hard, and take frequent breaks, but stay with it over time.

The latter report was also in State of War, a book by Times reporter James Risen, who drew scathing condemnation from CIA spokeswoman Jennifer Millerwise Dyck last week. She charged that Risen "demonstrates an unfathomable and sad disregard for U.S. national security and those who take life-threatening risks...
