...lively elder statesman, now 75, is working to undermine the very mobile behemoths he helped create. That's because he's the founder and chairman of ArrayComm, a San Jose, California, company that has radically redesigned the antennae that send cellular signals to handsets - it may be a better product, but it's also a threat to some hundreds of billions of dollars invested by the mobile giants. He is overhauling the way wireless signals travel, ushering in what he calls the "revolutionary next stage in radio communications...
Unfortunately, the relationship between the council, the student body, the administration and money is completely indecipherable. Certainly we (the institutional we) have money, and we (the students) like money a lot — the Crimson proudly compared our twenty-something billion dollar endowment to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Haiti (which it dwarfs. Actually, according to the Central Intelligence Agency’s World Factbook our endowment sits comfortably between the GDPs’ of Afghanistan and Jordan. But who’s counting, really?). But the council campaign issues at hand...
...than three months after her (second) marriage, to Stephen Quinn, 60, the publishing director of British Vogue. Quinn reversed a vasectomy; she underwent fertility treatments. A son, now 2 years old, was born, and Quinn is now seven months pregnant - except that Blunkett insists the children are his, the product of frequent liaisons that continued until she forced a breakup this summer.

...Soon after that jaw-dropping development, Grier co-founded Arryx. With a product called BioRyx, Arryx has now perfected the laser-beam splitting technique into what it calls a set of "optical tweezers." But we prefer the traffic-cop analogy: picture a busy time-lapse video of crisscrossing highways, bridges and underpasses, and you get an idea of what matter looks like in a BioRyx under a microscope. BioRyx picks up different substances and tells them where to go. The technology today is used for everything from analyzing blood to separating the sperm cells in bull semen that produce bulls...
...skimpy, the biggest casualty, along with retailers, could be the toy industry, which does as much as half of its business in the Christmas season. Denmark's Lego says it expects to lose about 3250 million this year as falling sales and prices force it to cut back production. At London megastore Hamleys, Bratz dolls and some electronic games are moving, but buyer Sue Porritt says the market overall "is looking tough." But not all are gloomy. Merchandise featuring jumping mouse Diddl is leaping off the shelves in France and Italy as well as its native Germany, even though...
