...Society asks that people help birds help themselves by drinking shade-grown coffee. The practice of razing the rainforest to grow coffee in full sun destroys the habitat for many migratory songbirds. Traditional shade-growing preserves the habitat for these birds.

...power, the feds are focusing on a well-known August 1995 confab between Gates and Grove at Intel's campus. The Microsoft CEO was "livid" about certain software developments at the Intel Architecture Lab (IAL), according to an internal memo; the thought of the chipmaker meddling in multimedia and Java programs that would conflict with Microsoft's Windows ambitions for the Net apparently stuck in his craw.

...already profitable on an operating basis. Add to this the fact that any takeover targets would be happy to get Yahoo's gold-plated stock. How would you spend the money? Even product development cost only $5 million last quarter, which must buy a lot of server tweaks and Java applets. Noting that Amazon has a similar war chest, our best guess for the bucks: Look for Yahoo's $20 million marketing budget to go into Superbowl-style overdrive. Maybe they'll even start mailing out disks...
