Legendary hacker to get unleashed and online
One of the world's most famous computer hackers gets off probation this week and plans to dive back into the Internet, his former playground where breaking-and-entering landed him in jail for five years.
On Tuesday, 39-year-old Kevin Mitnick will log on to the Internet for the first time in eight years, during the live TechTV show "Screen Savers." Also scheduled to be on the program are Shawn Fanning, creator of Internet music downloading pioneer Napster, and Steve Wozniak, a co-founder of Apple Computer Inc.

Bhutan seeks to ban smoking
Armed with tradition and determination, Bhutan's Government says it wants to stamp out smoking across the country - possibly becoming the first nation on earth to entirely ban tobacco use.
The tradition in the remote Himalayan kingdom dates back to the 17th Century, some say even earlier.
In the 1640s, the founder of modern Bhutan, the warrior monk Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, enacted the first-ever ban on smoking in public when he outlawed the use of tobacco in government buildings.
