E-mail virus insults its victims
A new computer virus has managed to infect--and insult--less savvy Internet users, antivirus companies said on Wednesday. Known as Winevar, the computer worm arrives in e-mail as an attachment that infects Windows PCs when opened and displays a dialog box pronouncing, "What a foolish thing you have done!"

Berlin Net cafés: a web of drugs and porn
Generally they show up in mid-afternoon when Berlin's many Internet cafés are full of young after-school patrons. Men in black berets and heavy boots march in, with a couple of them manning the exits lest anyone escape.
