...think it was good,” said senior first baseman Cecily Gordon. “We learned what we needed to do. It was a major turnaround mentally, realizing our potential and what we need done on the field...
That may sound like a simple enough statement, but it represents a profound revolution in the way the Santa Clara, Calif., chipmaker--long the powerhouse of Silicon Valley--does business. Forty years ago this April, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore predicted that given advances in transistor miniaturization, computer processors should double in speed every 18 months. Not only did Moore's law become the most trustworthy truism in technology, it was also the rock on which all Intel marketing was founded. Why did you need a PC with an Intel Pentium II processor? Because it was four times as fast...

Headphones over her ears, hand on the remote, she is watching the March 13 episode of Crossing Jordan. Suddenly, she hits the pause button. Why? "'Damn,'" she says. "And also they were talking about drugs." Looney, 25, transcribes the quote--"Damn. The second suitcase is still out there"--and it goes into the Entertainment Tracking System (ETS), the PTC's database on more than 100,000 hours of programming. "We track even those minor swears," says Looney...
