...establishing alliances with Nangalam's villagers, the Green Berets hope that intel will follow. Similar tactics worked for them in the 1960s in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. Last month 27 weapons caches were turned in to ODA 936 in Nangalam, more than anywhere else in Afghanistan. Once the troops' presence is established in the Afghan hinterlands, U.S. officers believe, the villagers will start to deny the terrorists sanctuary. Although one Green Beret says, "It's going to take dumb luck to stumble across Osama," the special forces are confident that someone will eventually give...
Arthur Rock, a Silicon Valley venture capitalist who helped financed the launches of Intel and Apple Computer, donated $25 million to the school in January 2003. Two months later, Frank Batten, who started the Weather Channel in 1982, gave $32 million to the capital campaign...
Steel-and-glass office buildings and sprawling corporate campuses are taking shape to handle the flood of new businesses and employees. Major players like IBM, Oracle and Intel are here, as are promising start-ups. At Sony World and Bose, techies are landing lucrative service gigs. It may sound like yesterday's Silicon Valley, but it's very much the present--in the high-tech mecca of Bangalore...
Eric Dishman is wound up about incontinence. That's not a typical concern around Intel's Portland, Ore., campus, where most of the 14,500 employees are preoccupied with building smaller and faster computer chips. But Dishman, 35, a vibrant sociologist with tight tufts of light brown hair, heads Intel's Proactive Health Lab.

...that brings us back to Dishman at Intel, who doesn't necessarily favor a fully automated health-care system devoid of the doctor-patient bond. He's not a technocrat by training or by nature. He's a sociologist who studies people--their needs and desires. "People didn't really embrace hearing aids until they became small enough not to be embarrassing," he says. That's even more the case with something as sensitive as incontinence--a problem, like so many, that technology can help solve, but only once we're willing to accept the cure...
