...various academic careers and a couple of marriages before reinventing himself and heading off to Stanford. There, he and his students designed a microchip he called the Geometry Engine, which allowed computers to visualize objects in 3-D. Fruitlessly, he tried to license the thing to IBM, DEC and Hewlett-Packard, before starting Silicon Graphics to sell workstations with the chip. That's where Clark honed his distaste for venture capitalists, whom he saw as stealing his enterprise and putting it in the hands of managers. Clark never let that happen again, keeping control when he got financing for Netscape...
Indeed, day spas have evolved from an indulgence to an expected perk. Some health-insurance providers, like Blue Cross of California now cover at least some spa treatments if prescribed by a physician. Better hotels simply have to have one, and companies like Hewlett-Packard are hiring on-site massage therapists for employees. Big Business has had its head turned in other ways too. The French giant LVMH, owner of Dior and Givenchy, last spring bought New York City's ultrahip Bliss spa for an estimated $30 million. Cosmetic companies like Estee Lauder are competing as well, with growing chains...
While the hiring this summer of Carly Fiorina as the first female CEO of Hewlett-Packard was considered a seismic event among the Valley's pocket-protector set, members of the dot.com generation barely shrugged. For many of them, the boss already is a woman. The boom in e-commerce--and the relative unimportance of engineering expertise, where men have ruled--has produced dozens of young entrepreneurs like Della & James' founders, Jessica DiLullo Herrin and Jenny Lefcourt: business-savvy women running Internet companies that cater mainly to women, peddling everything from wedding gifts to cosmetics to knitting. "Women are looking...
...attention to the noise, Carleton (Carly) Fiorina was saying last week, as she was crashing through the highest of glass ceilings to become the CEO of computer maker Hewlett-Packard. Although her appointment has not been so ballyhooed as Sandra Day O'Connor's becoming the first woman Supreme Court Justice or Geraldine Ferraro's running for Vice President--or, for that matter, America's women winning the soccer World Cup--it is arguably more important than any of those milestones. If women have made great strides in gaining parity in politics and sports, it is in the workplace that...
Researchers at UCLA and Hewlett-Packard have succeeded in constructing microscopic integrated circuits using single molecules as building blocks, an achievement that could lead the way to stunningly powerful and compact computers. Conventional computers are powered by tiny circuits etched in silicon by a laser, but a computer based on molecule-sized circuits would be vastly more compact and require much less power -- James Heath, the UCLA professor leading the project, has suggested that a molecular computer with the processing power of 100 conventional PCs would be about the size of a grain of salt...
