...defunct office-automation pioneer Wang Labs--one of the hottest companies of its time before being blown away by DEC and others. In 1995 he was brought in by a fledgling venture-capital company, CMGI, to run a search-engine operation called Lycos (derived by the technology's creator from the Latin name for wolf spider). Davis had $1.2 million in seed money and, as he writes in a new autobiography, Speed Is Life, "largely untested technology in an industry nobody really understood...
Harvard Transportation Services is in talks with Delvecchio and Karamchandani to purchase ShuttleGirl, a move that would prevent it from suffering the fate of its predecessor, Shuttleboy, which died when its creator graduated...
...Buffy" creator Joss Whedon came out to thank his new masters, saying it was "not in my nature" to be brief - and then proved himself right. It was charming, his precious locutions - "I'd like to say two words, 'thank' and 'you'" - making him seem like a kind of husky male Willow.

But expecting "Titans," I saw a moody, dark, seemingly intelligent piece that could be a more commercial descendent of past moody Fox dramas like "Profit." An additional encouraging sign: the creator turns out to be Mike White, the writer and creepy star of last summer's haunting "Chuck and Buck." (Also a former "Freaks and Geeks" writer, which with Apatow makes two "F&G" alums - always a good sign for a fall schedule.) Final encouraging sign: The cast includes Martin Donovan...
...Black and White creator Peter Molyneaux filled the floor way faster than Regis last year. This year, attendees are dreaming of Will Wright premiering the Sims Online, Sid Meier unveiling Civilization III or Mr. Miyamoto and his mysterious Nintendo Game Cube games. They can't wait to see what kind of a show-stopper Microsoft's X-box is, or whether last year's best of show, the still-unfinished Metal Gear Solid 2 for the PlayStation2, can live up to its Daikatana-sized expectations...
