...began in 1920 and has gathered steam through the '80s and '90s. De Vere led a life that was a veritable mirror of Shakespeare's art. Why then did he not write under his own name? It would have been unseemly, his advocates point out, for a courtier to attach his name to public wares. And De Vere was a truly uncommon nobleman: he was the hereditary Lord Great Chamberlain and a sometime favorite of Elizabeth...
...that you're not watching enough TV? Two new appliances, from Replay Networks ($699) and TiVo ($499), will help when they debut in the spring. The devices are slightly bigger than a VCR; each houses a huge hard drive that will store eight hours or so of programming.

The crew of Endeavour will try to attach a connecting passageway to that first piece.

The space station program is eating up scarce space funding, and Kluger maintains the money would be better spent on unmanned space exploration and manned scientific...
...home videomaker. It's a Swiss Army Knife kind of thing, with a video and graphics accelerator (which makes everything from spreadsheets to games look better on your monitor), 2-D and 3-D accelerator, and even a TV tuner (you can watch television on your PC if you attach your cable). Best of all, it has a chip that quickly compresses video using the high-quality MJPEG format, making editing a snap...
