Hey, how come that's on the loose in cyberspace? With everyone carrying around cameras on their cyberphones in a year or two, it's going to be impossible to hide anywhere on the planet. Within seconds of any embarrassing action or comment, there'll be images and words zipping through cyberspace to the highest-bidding media merchants. How much for a nudey picture of Russell Crowe and what's her name? Notice though, in that photo, how the freedom-loving westerners [me and Elvis] are dressed in bright, cheerful clothes and the repressed commie Chinese are in sombre suits. They bought it though - China is now rolling out big heaps of CDMA, thanks to Elvis and sidekick at CTIA's QUALCOMM stand. Even though Bill Clinton bombed the Chinese embassy with really smart bombs, that's been set aside and more recent good intentions accepted. Hu Jintao will really push cdma2000 cyberphones along. Soon, Iraq also will be pulsing with cdma2000 phragmented photons delivering cyberspace to every nook and cranny via Globalstar and terrestrial networks. Islam in cyberspace - prayers from Mecca delivered to the most remote oasis. Islamic terrorists could also benefit. With a Globalstar phone embedded [note cool word] in an explosive WMD [bought from nefarious sources and yes, I mean a nuke], remote control could eliminate targets anywhere in the USA, in ships out on the Atlantic ocean, or in high-flying aircraft. They wouldn't need to depend on idiots like Richard Reid lighting his sweaty and wet shoes with a match. The fuse probably wouldn't light because he walked into the airport terminal in the rain, or he peed his pants with nerves, or was sweating too much. Can't say I blame him. Mqurice
