Industry giants like Intel, Apple, Sapient and Microsoft sponsored the conference, which brought more than 600 people to Sanders theatre and the Science Center...
...knows for sure what they're taking, since emergency rooms don't always test blood to confirm the drug identified by users. But one group that does test e for purity is DanceSafe, a prorave organization based in Berkeley, Calif., and largely funded by a software millionaire, Bob Wallace (Microsoft's employee No. 9).

"There are already significant competitors to Intel's chips, but this is an important step in the development of Linux as an alternative to Windows." Linux, says Taylor, is more of a backbone system - and for, say, a kitchen appliance that downloads recipes and keeps electronic tabs on the contents of your refrigerator, AOL will be better able to tailor its own interface to paper on top of Linux's OS guts.
