"Undercover on the Dark Side of Cyberspace. On-Line FBI
Agents Troll for Those Who Prey on Children."
The FBI unit now has more than $1 million worth of
equipment, including high-speed modems and large data
storage devices. In cases where suspects' computers have
been seized, the agents have run up against
password-protected and encrypted files, which sometimes
have taken FBI technicians hundreds of hours to decode.
1-2-96. FiTi:
"Pobox and the magic cookie."
Which company will have the greatest effect on the
development of the Internet this year? My answer is
neither Microsoft nor Netscape. It is a tiny new company
called Pobox.com. Its product consists of a simple
forwarding service that is an electronic equivalent of
a post office box. This service allows people to give
out an e-mail address that is independent of where they
work or where they choose to buy Internet access.
