A small group of National Security Agency officials slipped into Silicon Valley on one of the agency's periodic technology shopping expeditions this month.

On the wish list, according to several venture capitalists who met with the officials, were an array of technologies that underlie the fierce debate over the Bush administration's anti-terrorist eavesdropping program: computerized systems that reveal connections between seemingly innocuous and unrelated pieces of information.

So if Acidus is seemingly innocuous, and Decius is unrelated to Acidus ... then the NSA must be interested in both of them -- and their technology!

You see: they are related ... Acidus recommended 10 memes from Decius in 2005, and Decius recommended 13 memes from Acidus during the same period.

Question: Is there a market for a monthly magazine that is a cross between Vogue and Foreign Affairs?
