Like Gates, Allen now devotes much of his time to giving away lots of money. He still has a fortune north of $15 billion and has remained active in the tech world, investing in a series of start-ups, from AOL to early wireless networks. He scored big with such outfits as DreamWorks and Ticketmaster, while some of his other investments have struggled, like Egghead Software and Purple Moon, a failed CD-ROM venture...

It tells the story of a handful of American and European expatriates who established a neutral safety zone to protect some 200,000 Nanjing residents during the conflict.

Either deal would help Yahoo! take on Google more aggressively. One thing that won't change: the quirky Yahoo! culture. Early on, founders Jerry Yang and David Filo set up a free cappuccino bar for employees and have followed up with annual company-wide gifts, ranging from MP3 players to sleeping bags. Google has topped the coffee bar with free meals and a host...
