...There's just one problem. Netscape's founding fathers, Jim Clark and Marc Andreesen, maintain that they began planning the new company on March 1 1994. What's more, the browser Andreesen first worked on -- NCSA Mosaic -- was already wowing the crowds back in December 1993, when the New York Times' John Markoff lauded it as the killer application for the Internet. Gates might want to brush up on browser history before his impending DOJ deposition...
...makes no difference. Whether you live or die here is entirely a matter of chance, not survival tactics. Spielberg's handheld cameras thrust us into this maelstrom, and his superb editing creates from these bits and pieces a mosaic of terror. We see as the soldiers see, from belly level, in flashes and fragments, none more vivid than the shot, rendered almost casually, of a soldier staggering along, carrying his severed arm--the struggle against mortality encapsulated in what amounts to a sidelong glance...
Burne-Jones was an amazingly proficient craftsman, a one-man guild, fecund in painting, book design, tapestry, embroidery, stained glass, tiles, mosaic. He had little formal art training and always felt insecure about his figure drawing.

They had meant to go into the Anglican Church, but in 1855 they resolved to dedicate their lives to art and design...
With the release of Opera 3.1 for Windows 3.x and Windows 95, however, the program has emerged as a serious technical competitor, if not a market threat, to Netscape and IE. Opera's advantage is that it is not based on the old Mosaic technology found in both of the "big two" browsers. Instead, its developers coded it from the ground up as a new product, avoiding the inefficiencies of legacy code and slow library files...
...feet and use them to regulate musical accompaniment, making the dancer's body the conductor. "My work is like a visual jazz," says Janney. Amplifying nature's rhythms is Janney's specialty. He built what may be the largest piece of interactive public art ever--a 180-ft.-high mosaic of colored glass--in the Miami airport. What's interactive about it? The mosaic reacts to human contact, emitting sounds of the Everglades. Janney's "performance architecture" has also been played in the New York City and Paris subways, where passengers trigger infrared sensors to set off synthesized bells, flutes...
