and later, lesley stahl will take us to the world of internet gambling, which is against the law, yet is thriving in this country. but first, my report about one of the biggest scandals in the history of online gambling. a small group of people managed to cheat players out of more than $20 million, and it would have gone undetected if it hadn't been for the players themselves, who used the internet to root out the corruption. as a joint investigation by 60 minutes and the washington post revealed in 2008, it raises new questions about the integrity and security of the shadowy and highly profitable business that operates outside u.s. law. >> moneymaker puts his name amongst the greatest players in the game! >> if you had to pick the moment that the poker boom began, it was probably the day an unknown accountant named chris moneymaker won $2.5 million at the 2003 world series of poker. suddenly, every amateur with a hat, sunglasses, and a stack of chips saw themselves as the next big moneymaker. nearly 7,000 people competed in this year's tournament for $180 million in prize money, but

as lesley stahl first reported in october 2011, it turns out that with specially designed applications these computers are helping to unlock the isolation of people like joshua hood. >> imagine spending your life having conversations like this. "p." "l." having to poke out words on a laminated piece of paper one letter at time. "c," plastic. it was so frustrating for josh, his mother, nancy, says he would often give up and retreat into himself. at family gatherings, he was sidelined because no one understood him. at school, he sat passively in class, unable to participate. when josh was feeling bad or really needed something, the family resorted to charades. >> so you'd be, like, you know, "can you spell it? can you show me?" >> oh, how frustrating. >> and so he would-- >> you would act it out almost? >> he would. he would look around a room, and he'd see if he could find something that sounded like it. >> just to tell you one little thing. >> one thing that he wanted, yes. >> how are you? >> but not anymore. >> i want a drink. >> for the past year, josh has been using an apple ipad as

i'm lesley stahl and welcome to "60 minutes presents.", in this holiday season, "an evening of music" with three of the most talented and distinctive performers we have met in the past year on "60 minutes." all of them have stories to tell, as well as songs to sing. and we begin with adele. the 24-year-old british singer is a music industry phenomenon that happens perhaps only once a generation. adele's sophomore album has sold more than 25 million copies-- ten million in the united states alone-- and spent more weeks at number one than any album in nearly 20 years. unlike most female singers of today, she is not selling herself with runway model looks or provocative clothes, and has no gimmicks added to her music. her popularity is due simply to the strength of her voice, and the emotional connection so many people have to her music. but at the height of her album's success, vocal cord problems forced her to cancel dozens of concerts and threatened to end her young career. earlier this year, when anderson cooper interviewed adele, she re
