...Unfortunately in the academic world you are measured by how many papers you write," Seltzer says. "The publish or perish phenomenon is very real...
...likes to joke that he's got more degrees than a thermometer, including a doctorate in physics from Princeton. With a fast and exuberant laugh, he has a passion for subjects ranging from technology (he heads Microsoft's advanced-research group) to dinosaurs (he's about to publish a paper on the aerodynamics of the apatosaurus tail) to cooking. He sometimes moonlights as a chef at Rover's, a French restaurant in Seattle...
...wasn't the only scientist who had observed this. Another team, headed by George Shaw, had seen the same spike in HIV particles followed by a precipitous drop. The two researchers learned of each other's work and decided to co-publish their findings in a 1991 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. It was the beginning of a friendly but no less keen competition between the scientists...
...Microsoft in Redmond, Washington, in terror. There is no hope for us, my pals say.

It also excludes gifts by corporate foundations rather than individuals, and any gifts less than $1 million. Judging by a single year's giving, rather than by a lifetime of charity, causes distortions too. Microsoft head Bill Gates and Berkshire Hathaway chairman Warren Buffett, for instance...
