...obsolete every nine months instead of every eighteen ? which is the technological equivalent of running a two-minute mile. But does anyone really care? "The irony of this development," says TIME computer correspondent David Jackson, "is that consumers may not want or need it. As it stands now, the hottest new market in the industry is for cheap machines capable of doing simple tasks such as word processing ? and you don't need a faster chip to do that." So while the California chip-makers gleefully promote their power-packed product, they may face a less-than-enthusiastic response from...
CHRISTOPHER JOHN FARLEY, author of this week's story on the hottest new music-video directors, was struck by a coincidence while interviewing such artists as Sean ("Puffy") Combs, Missy Elliott and Erykah Badu.

...March, Sean ("Puffy") Combs, head of Bad Boy Records and the hottest producer in hip-hop, went into what he calls a deep depression after his friend and chief collaborator, gangsta rapper Biggie Smalls, was gunned down outside a Los Angeles party. Coming hard after the slaying of rival rap star Tupac Shakur, who had been feuding with Bad Boy, the killing sparked speculation that the two incidents could be linked. Now Combs, 26, has re-emerged with his first solo album, No Way Out. It's an uneven work--the piano-driven Do You Know? flashes with brilliance...
