An insider tells British newspaper The Sun, "Madonna is well aware of the kidnap
threats but she is brave and even a little nonchalant when it comes to her own safety. "Guy is seriously concerned and has made it clear that security has to be tightened, just to be on the safe side. "Madonna doesn't anticipate any problems herself but Guy isn't convinced. Her tour director, CHRIS (LAMB), has been on edge after being informed about the security to increase the protection around her."

After the new name for the next generation Windows was announced, people in Russian internet blogs started numerous discussion topics. The reason for those topics was a newsline submitted by an unknown author that “The word Vista means Hen or Cock” in Lithuanian language. At that time there
was no common opinion achieved regarding the matter. Just because Lithuania was the part of USSR, and it's only now a separate state, many people there know Russian and even use Russian as their native language. So there were a lot of such rumors comming directly from them.
