McLean-Foreman started his business, which sells high-tech sports equipment, during the summer of 2001. “I like working with design; the company pretty much started as a hobby after my freshman year,” he explains. He has since teamed up with two Harvard grads and former teammates: Kobie Fuller ’02 and Cristof O’Donnell ’01. O’Donnell is a triathlete currently training for the Olympics who will wear the company’s gear as part of a sponsorship deal...
...doesn't own a watch or a car. Elected to the city's board of supervisors during the dotcom boom, Gonzalez (who was a Democrat until he became disillusioned with the party's campaign tactics in 2000) helped lead the charge against upscale real estate development to house the high-tech rich.

The poor economy has also pulled some nurses out of retirement or into extra shifts to support their families. But this worker shortage will require much more than that, because it's doubtful that the American education system in its current state can deliver the needed quantity of next-generation...
...fashion and high-tech industries rarely see eye to eye. But if the future of technology is in wearable computers, as some believe, then the Offspring Wearable prototypes are a step in the right direction. These sunglasses don't just look cool--they also house a tiny digital camera lens (which peeks out from a pinhole opening above the right lens) as well as a miniature display inside the left lens for reading e-mail or looking up information online. An earpiece for your cell phone pops out from the side of the glasses. It's all part...
