...wresting their livelihood from a harsh yet enticing landscape. His daughter Vivian (Natasha Lyonne)--15 and squirmy with all the anxieties, social and sexual, of her age group--knows better. The swell school district isn't worth what living in the slums of Beverly Hills entails: decamping from sleazy apartments at night to avoid the rent, taking in a crazy cousin (Marisa Tomei) in hopes her father will support the Abramowitzes in a style to which they're unaccustomed. There's farce in Jenkins' reflections on her adolescence. But there's also a tough-tender authenticity in her film that...

"I know that Bill and Andy both consider that period to be one of the rockier ones for Wintel," says TIME senior editor Joshua Ramo, who interviewed Grove for the Man of the Year issue. Such tension is hardly surprising, given the way chip technology has taken so much of software's workload over the last decade. But while Gates gave Grove credit for "stepping back" on the software issue in a 1996 conversation published in Fortune, Grove claimed he "basically caved." Said...
