More friends, certainly, than U.S. intelligence had detected. "The picture intel painted," says Sergeant Major Frank Grippe of the 10th Mountain Division, who took shrapnel wounds in his legs on the first day, "was just a little bit different from events happening on the ground." That's a soldier's understatement. As they prepared at Bagram, U.S. forces were told to ready themselves to meet from 150 to 200 of the enemy. After less than a week of battle, the Pentagon was already claiming they had killed around 500, and the fighting still wasn't over. What had gone wrong...

...chose cutting work hours 10% over firing 10% of the company. On the other hand, Fiorina's gamble on greater growth is about as gutsy as their decision to build an oscillator in their garage back in 1939. "I respect her for being aggressive," says Craig Barrett, CEO of Intel, HP's largest vendor. "And I'd label her a work in progress." This is what the HP story has that Enron's doesn't: a heroine in transition and a $25 billion cliffhanger...
...also thank him for turning the cell phone from a simple communication device into a mini-PC. Of course, just as Microsoft and its longtime partner Intel don't actually put together PCs, they aren't going to start churning out cell phones. What the two companies announced last week is a plan to license their blueprint of the innards of a cell phone to manufacturers; wireless companies can decide what the handset will look like and how much of the Microsoft software it will contain. While vastly increasing the versatility of your cell phone, the insides are standardized...
...smart move, seeding the marketplace with Microsoft products and Intel chips under cover of democratizing the industry. (Two wireless companies have already expressed interest, according to Microsoft.) But that doesn't guarantee Gates another victory. He tried this strategy before by squeezing the same applications onto the Pocket PC, in an effort to steal market share from the popular Palm Pilot, but most Palm users preferred their current software's simplicity. Cell-phone users may turn out to be similarly wary. "The mobile environment is not simply about downscaling the PC world," warns Timo Poikolainen, a director of Nokia...
