That's how Gore's campaign chose to ignore possible opportunities in Georgia and North Carolina and make a stand in Florida--a move the Bush campaign initially dismissed as a fake-out. When efforts in Orlando, Tampa and West Palm Beach began bearing fruit, the Gore campaign expanded its assault to the Panhandle and finally statewide. Now Bush has been forced to spend more than $8 million--more than twice as much as Gore--to try to hold on to a state where his own brother is Governor. Gore continues to press hard in Florida, but a top campaign...
...city guide is a program that runs on a handheld PDA, such as a Palm or a Pocket PC, and works like an electronic travel guide. You download it from the Web, install it on your PDA, and the next time you need to find the nearest Thai food or Irish pub or French boutique, you whip it out and look up the location. Suddenly, you're the guy who knows what's going on. You're an instant hipster. (Not that PDA and hipster are phrases that necessarily belong in the same paragraph...
...loaded up my trusty Palm with two different city guides: Vindigo (available free at www.vindigo.com and CitySync, ($19.99 at www.citysync.com) Vindigo covers most major U.S. cities; CitySync, which is produced by the people who write the Lonely Planet travel guides, doesn't include as many U.S. locations, but it does throw in cities such as London and Paris. I also brought along a weird little gizmo called Modo ($99 at www.modo.net) Modo is a city guide that runs on its own funky-looking hardware (it resembles an evil ladybug from outer space). It covers only New York City, Los Angeles...

Getting students organized used to mean buying a Trapper Keeper and hoping homework didn't fall out. But this fall a handful of schools have supplied students with the same wireless Palm Pilots used by hyper-scheduled executives. More portable and less pricey--$200, vs. about $2,000--than the laptops doled out by schools in recent years, the hand-held computers give students Internet access and allow teachers to "beam" them their grades and homework assignments. Add-ons include a "due yesterday" feature that dings when schoolwork is tardy and an attachable probe that measures pH in science labs...
