STEVE JOBS Thinking different pays off big time: Plenty of raves for new G4 Cube. Got a job for Gates...
...love the Parthenon. Greg Lynn has a thing for the blob. This would not only be the '50s sci-fi thriller about a belligerent wad of jelly. The blobs that beguile him are any "isomorphic polysurfaces," meaning shapes that are, well, blobs. Architecture is a profession in which the cube and sphere are still the literal building blocks.

...couches, TV projector with satellite dish and built-in keg tap. The starving artist can inhabit a cubicle containing nothing but its own six black walls, with black and white postcards of jazz musicians to be tacked up later.

In the collection are bygone greats like pitcher Sandy Koufax and today's stars like Ken Griffey Jr. The light-blue signature of the legendary Stan Musial is barely legible on one dingy yellow ball. Most are bright white, though, including the one signed by both rival sluggers Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams. There...
