...started on its .Net and Passport strategies (that's another article altogether). But remember, we're talking about kinder, gentler Microsofties, at least compared with the pre-antitrust trial version. Then they were viciously monopolistic. Now, they're just plain sneaky, and they're trying to fly under your radar. My advice: don't let them...
...consumer confidence - and he's apparently succeeded in doing that so far. The next thing is to stimulate business spending, which he hasn't been able to do, and which most people don't expect to happen at least until the fall. But with inflation so far off the radar screen, he'll be able to cut rates as much as he wants to try and bring businesses around as soon as possible...
...RADAR FLASHLIGHTS Gene Greneker, a radar expert at Georgia Tech, was fiddling with a radar gun he had developed for monitoring marksmen and archers during the 1996 Atlanta Olympics when he noticed something odd: whenever someone walked on the other side of his laboratory wall, a deflection appeared on the radar screen. One thing led to another, and now Greneker is trying to smooth out the final kinks in his Radar Flashlight, a device that looks like an oversize hair dryer but can penetrate 8-in.-thick nonmetal doors and walls. When radar waves encounter moving objects, like a hostage...
BEYOND BAR GRAPHS Some firms are pushing for yet more clarity. Using shorter-wavelength radar waves measured in millimeters, not centimeters, Millivision in Amherst, Mass., makes a device that goes well beyond colored blobs. "What we are doing is real imaging," says Richard Huguenin, chief technology officer. "You see a picture." Actually, it's more like a shadow. The human body, as it turns out, naturally emits millimeter radiation that goes right through clothes. So anything blocking that emission, such as a concealed gun or wallet, shows up as a shadow in the images produced by Millivision's prototype scanners...
Late in the year, a new name appeared on the committee’s radar screen. Amy Gutmann ’71, a respected Princeton professor, former dean of the faculty and founder of that university’s Center for Human Values was a young, incredibly accomplished woman. She struck the committee as a revolutionary choice. Her work on ethics and human values had impacted undergraduates, and she had begun a series of freshman seminars similar to the program at Harvard that the committee thought warranted expansion...
