...Jobs step back from his infamous "80 hours a week and loving it" work ethic. "I read something Bill Gates said about six months ago," he recalled last week over a long lunch in the new Apple cafeteria (when he came back, Jobs canned the company that ran that "dog-food" operation too). "He said, 'I worked really, really hard in my 20s.' And I know what he means, because I worked really, really hard in my 20s too--seven days a week, lots of hours every day. But you can't do it forever. You don't want...
...development, however, Pixar's creative team woke up one morning last January to a sinking realization: the story just wasn't good enough. Lasseter stepped in full time as director to help his two younger co-directors. More than half the movie had to be redone. Buster the dog was added, as was Wheezy, the damaged penguin. Tensions rose as the workload increased.

Meyer remembers everything about his trip, the second of 12 he's made with the company: "We traveled 13 miles a day with two 10-dog teams, breaking camp in the morning and setting it up at the end of day, struggling through blizzards, trying to find a way across the open water." He was thrilled by the Arctic, "one of the most unusual places in the world--the beautiful blue colors...
...DOG DAYS Pig's ears, beef jerky and smoked hooves may not be all that appetizing to everyone, but to dogs they're the cat's meow. Beware, though: the FDA is warning that pet chews, as they're known, may be contaminated with Salmonella infantis, a bacterium that won't harm man's best friend but can cause vomiting, nausea and abdominal pain in healthy humans--and be life threatening to those with compromised immune systems. What to do? After tossing a chew to Rover, wash your hands thoroughly--and have your kids do the same...
