...coming out about human genes, in order to speed up the development of new drugs. Or something. "Industrial Strength Bioinformatics" is the company's slogan. Its product, styled GeneWorld 2.0, "gives you the industrial-strength capacity you need when sequence data production exceeds analytical throughput." (Don't you hate it when that happens?) @Large's first product, Sasson says with a smile, is "one of the simplest for marketing people to explain." And he's right, sort of. It's software that enables employees to file expense reports on a corporate intranet. (What's an intranet? Ask Trent Lott...

So even though his airline was enjoying a record year financially, United chairman Gerald Greenwald sacked Burnett in October, noting that today's hate-to-fly passengers hardly regard the skies as friendly...
...books could not be more different in many ways; in the back, for instance, where Tannen has placed footnotes, Gray has 800-numbers for ordering his products. But both are about the frustrations of male-female communication--how men hate to ask for directions when driving, say, or how women need to talk to feel closer. Says Tannen: "I suppose if I had wanted to build an empire I would be resentful, but I didn't." Gray acknowledges the similarities between his work and Tannen's--up to a point.
