...ambitious new global wi-fi network. Skype, along with Google and others, will invest $22 million in the Spanish start-up, which plans to have more than 1 million hot spots by 2010. Subscribers will pay less than $2 a day to have guaranteed wireless access wherever they roam. More than 3,000 people have signed up since the beta version launched in November. "It's a dream come true," FON founder Martin Varsavsky says of his new partners, although he demurs on the specific roles Google and Skype will play. Sounds as if he has found his lucky star...

He acknowledges that he could get a car with a built-in system, “but then it wouldn’t be a ’91 Volvo.” This summer, before med school, he wants...
...might think the giant oil companies have the answer. But the biggest customers of all are turning to a 79-year-old Texan who operates like the Indiana Jones of the oil patch. Gene Van Dyke is one of the last of the wildcatters, independent operators who roam jungles and deserts looking for black gold.
