Napster-style file-sharing service KaZaA has said it can't stop its users downloading copyrighted music - even though a Dutch court has ordered it to do so.
KaZaA has claimed it cannot stop its users because, unlike Napster, it doesn't know who they are. The KaZaA software has already been distributed and KaZaA claims it is unable to now see what users of the software are swapping.

Football shirts are being developed which have their own on-board computer, which will be able to track the pace and acceleration of the wearer. Researchers in "wearable" computers at the University of Birmingham, UK, are exploring ways of remotely monitoring the performance of people playing sports.

A wearable system of sensors allows users to create and play music while doing routine tasks and share performances with one another over a wireless network. Tapping any of the sensors produces a digital signal corresponding to a note or a musical sequence. This signal is transmitted to a computer, where it merges with signals from other users and the result is heard on headsets.
