Along with the media attention came several post-graduation job offers at major publications, as well as an invitation to appear in an advertisement for Motorola. Seidman declined them all, not because she wasn't interested, but because she feared that her fellow Crimson editors would think she was using her status as the first female president of the Crimson as a stepping-stone to success. "I was aware that if I capitalized on anything, it would affect...
...world''s most notorious computer hacker ? raises troubling new questions about commercial interactions in cyberspace, says TIME technology writer Josh Quittner. Mitnick, 31, was able over the years to hack into various computer systems and get access to privileged information from big-name companies like Digital, Motorola and NEC. He also obtained a copy of credit card numbers of 20,000 members of Netcom, a San Jose-based Internet provider. "If Netcom can''t keep those numbers secure, how can L.L. Bean?" says Quittner.

Taiwan's scientists have taken on everything from vaccines to satellite communications, and many harbor even grander dreams. "In a few years," confides an aspiring biotechnologist, "I hope to start my own company...
These clashing interests help explain why IBM and Apple, after spending so many years competing, now have trouble collaborating. The two agreed in 1991 to sign on with Motorola in the venture that produced the chip at the heart of both the Power Mac and IBM's long-awaited Power PC. But analysts say conflicts within IBM's personal-computer unit over whether to pursue a joint strategy have prevented the company from keeping pace with Apple: while that company has shipped some 600,000 Power Macs since March, IBM is still waiting for software companies to develop additional programs...
