Ford engineers could hardly wait to replace the Explorer's outmoded front suspension. In another 1989 memo, engineer Charles White noted the start of discussions "to revise the Ranger and [Explorer] suspension due to out-of-date performance of the Twin I-Beam." White added that although Ford had planned to replace the Twin I-Beam in 1998, "it was agreed that we would look at earlier incorporation of a new front suspension out-of-cycle for the reasons stated above, not safety...
...Ford had finally replaced the Explorer's unloved Twin I-Beam with a short-and-long-arm suspension but didn't act on previous recommendations to lower the engine and widen the chassis. And since the new suspension weighed less than the Twin I-Beam, the change raised--not lowered--the SUV's center of gravity...
...lines and maintain highly sophisticated equipment. Rather than carry a bagful of printed manuals, workers strap on MA-IVs, which have all the manuals on their hard-disk drives. If a worker encounters a tricky problem with a particular router, say, he can switch on his video camera and beam live images to a supervisor who can then advise corrective measures...
...open the Tang family's refrigerator and see three Tiger beers inside. Why, I wonder, are 36 beers listed on the automated scanning device, which is designed to beam their grocery inventory to a local store?

Shortly before I arrived at their model apartment, they ran a bunch of grocery items through the scanner to make it look like they use it all the time. Eager to accommodate, they did so at the urging of the pair...
...gone. There's a record of the light beam stored in the gas atoms, and when the physicists zap the gas with another burst of light, the first one reappears in its original form (how they tell them apart is a physicist thing). And thus is light made to stop at a traffic light and wait, before being sent...
