In the new issue:

Feature:

Spinning the Web:  The Realities of Online Reputation Management
by Nicholas Carroll

"Online reputation management" is reminiscent of the political term 
"spin control." But the Internet is not traditional media, and 
opportunities for controlling one's reputation are quite different – in 
theory unlimited, but in practice limited by an almost inherent lack of 
focus, and the countervailing weight of mainstream media.

Games:

Animal Crossing
for Nintendo GameCube
reviewed by Jane Pinckard

Who says multiplayer has to be simultaneous? The brilliance of 
Nintendo's game Animal Crossing is that you don't play head-to-head with 
other players.
