...high the cool factor. The thing is, the MA-IV isn't meant to replace your trusty iMac: it is an industrial tool. Xybernaut sells these machines - a few hundred, thus far - to companies that have a large, widely dispersed maintenance staff. Bell Canada's workers, for instance, climb up poles and down manholes to fix phone 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...

Players' salaries are generally minimal and ticket prices are cheap (70 to $6), although fans of many teams don't bother paying when they can climb over fences of poorly secured pitches. But as long as the generals can entertain friends and snack on fried tofu (a spectator favorite) during matches, why should they change anything? Attendance has been flat, from about 700,000 in 1994 to 750,000 today. Longtime sponsor Adidas abandoned the league...
