...world of the near future, all manner of content--magazines, movies, music, books, shopping--will be pouring into your home through your cable television line. The cable is now known as broadband because, even though it looks the same, technology has made it fatter and faster. When broadband access fuses the new and old economies with a bang, consumers will have a simple concern: If the broadband world is ruled by one company, will we have to pay more? Will we have a choice of what we watch? And if we don't stop them now, will we be able...
...little known until he became Bill Gates' bete noire. The judge in the Microsoft antitrust trial could be gruff ("You are not planning to totally rearrange my room, are you?" he asked our photographer) but was known as open-minded and moderate. His thunderbolt rulings were hardly mild though. He called the Windows maker an "untrustworthy," "disingenuous" monopoly and ordered its breakup.

For though she chats with her dead grandmother, sleeps with a baseball bat beside her bed and has visions of the dead in her bathtub, Annie is quite the most sensible person around...
...report is far from perfect. Even though the tests were standardized, they consist basically of what investigators call "self-reports," which are more susceptible to social pressure than, say, viral-antibody counts. It's also easier to talk about being "stressed out" in today's pop-psychology culture than it was when Dwight Eisenhower was President. Yet Twenge's conclusions echo the concerns of many parents, teachers and pediatricians. "I think children are more anxious," says Dr. Thomas McInerny, professor of pediatrics at the University of Rochester. "Clinicians, pediatricians, psychologists--we're all seeing more...
