Hacker Kim Dotcom to be Featured on this Weekend's 60 MINUTES
He's known as Kim Dotcom, and this former hacker-turned Internet entrepreneur lives in a lavish mansion on a vast estate outside Auckland, New Zealand. He leads a lifestyle that is part tech mogul, part Bond villain – and he says, in many ways, his life was inspired by the movies. “Some characters had private islands and super tankers converted into yachts… underwater homes… I got inspired by that,” he tells Bob Simon.

60 MINUTES to Catch Up with the Lost Boys of Sudan, 3/31
When Bob Simon first met the Lost Boys, they were a miracle. Forced to flee on foot - some as young as 5 - they wandered across deserts and countries as they fled the civil war in Sudan that killed most of their families. Many died along the way from malnutrition, thirst, even from crocodiles at one point. That they survived to make it to a refugee camp in Kenya, where they met Simon, was a miracle. Getting resettled in the U.S. was another miracle none of them could ever have imagined on their years-long odyssey. And, for a few of them at least, the miracles continue, as Simon reports 12 years later for a 60 MINUTES story to be broadcast Sunday, March 31 (7:00-8:00PM, ET/PT).

Fortunate Free Diver Herbert Nitsch to Appear on 60 MINUTES SPORTS Tomorrow, 5/6
Several signs told him not to try to beat his own 700-foot free diving record that day. There was technical trouble with the sled that was to take him down to 800 feet, the water was choppy and an ear problem had prevented his training in the critical days before the dive. But Herbert Nitsch, known as "The Deepest Man on Earth" for the 32 world records in free diving he held, tried for yet another and nearly died in the process. After months of rehabilitation, Nitsch tells Bob Simon in the diver's first interview since the career-ending dive that he knew then he shouldn't have dived that day. Nitsch's story, including the first footage of his fateful dive, will be told on the next edition of 60 MINUTES SPORTS, premiering Wednesday, March 6 at 9:00 PM, ET/PT on SHOWTIME.
