U.S. counterinsurgency efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan have failed to exploit information power, which could be a U.S. advantage but instead is being used advantageously by insurgents. Because insurgency and counterinsurgency involve a battle for the allegiance of a population between a government and an armed opposition movement, the key to exploiting information power is to connect with and learn from the population itself, increasing the effectiveness of both the local government and the U.S. military and civilian services engaged in supporting it.

The University of Colorado has many valuable lessons to teach young British exchange student Ross Cooper. There is the art of unfastening bra straps using only a foreign accent, the politics of corrupting campus radio through obscene freestyle rapping, and the science of sharing a jail cell without using the communal toilet.

It proves to be a master class in friendship and depravity, lust and restraint,

The forum participants represented a number of public and private organization

Digital technology has changed the way we interact with everything from the games we play to the tools we use at work. Designers of digital technology products no longer regard their job as designing a physical object?beautiful or utilitarian?but as designing our interactions with it. In Designing Interactions, award-winning designer Bill Moggridge introduces us to forty influential designers who have shaped our interaction with technology. Moggridge, designer of the first laptop computer (the GRiD Compass, 1981) and a founder of the design firm IDEO, tells us these stories from an industry in
