Recognizing that its Cinematch system isn't cutting it, Netflix established a $1 million prize for better algorithms, which has already been claimed by a coalition of programmers named BellKor's Pragmatic Chaos.

"Tehran was our town today," exclaimed a 26-year-old woman. "We had more courage and the police less courage...

The arrests of several high-ranking leaders in 2008, as well as the roughly 750 etarras (ETA members) currently serving prison sentences, have shattered the hierarchy and structure of the group's once strict commando system, forcing it to rely more heavily on ill-trained legales (mercenaries hired to carried out its attacks).
