...will never tell who I am voting for in this election--check my bumper stickers, window signs and pin-up posters in my room if you want to try to deduce it--for the sake of illustration I will make an exception to the rule and let you peek inside my first trip to the voting booth...
With some analysts predicting billion-dollar sales drops for the PC industry this year, and with Oracle dangling a $500 computer in front of consumers, you might expect to find Intel CEO Andy Grove sneaking a peek at other platforms. No chance. Grove's hole card: revolutionary Intel technology called MMX (matrix manipulation extensions) that will load already speedy Pentium chips with a set of fast multimedia instructions.

The lyrics on All Eyez on Me seem rushed, inchoate--we don't get a look at Shakur's wounded heart, just a peek at the scribblings in his notebook. Musically, he's also regressed. On the last CD the melodies were strong and tight, but while there are a few winning tunes on All Eyez on Me--including the soulful I Ain't Mad at Cha and the amiably defiant Only...
