...cast is terrific. Douglas, with Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct behind him, knows all about playing male victimization without total loss of amour propre. Moore's ferocity is totally unredeemed, therefore totally riveting. Donald Sutherland as their boss is computer-like: he has an almost-human brain and a silicon chip where his heart should be. They and a very good supporting cast often ground Disclosure in some kind of behavioral honesty, almost turn it into a realistic portrait of the modern workplace -- full of false camaraderie, anxious rumors and secret- status warfare. But not to worry. When truth...
Although they have taken shape in the shadow of Japan, the scientific showcases of the Pacific Rim look for inspiration to California's Silicon Valley, where academics and entrepreneurs race to take ideas out of the lab and into the marketplace. In Hong Kong researchers are already working on projects for clients ranging from a small machine-tool manufacturer in Nanjing, China, to big multinationals like U.S.-based Motorola. Taiwan's scientists have taken on everything from vaccines to satellite communications, and many harbor even grander dreams. "In a few years," confides an aspiring biotechnologist, "I hope to start...
Young, hip Mosaic Communications was supposed to have the edge in the race to improve on NCSA Mosaic -- the Internet "browser" that made the complex computer network surprisingly easy to use. After all, the Silicon Valley start-up hired away most of the hackers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign who had written the original program, and their new version -- Mosaic Netscape -- is suddenly the hottest thing on the Net. So why are AT& T, IBM and Digital Equipment licensing a competing version from low-profile Spyglass? Because Spyglass has something Mosaic never bothered to get -- a license...
Harvard used the 1992 grant to fund sophomores working in labs over the summer, establish the new neuroscience classes NCB117 and NCB116 and purchase silicon-graphic machines for Chem...
...underneath the silicon respectability resides a seedy underworld. And prim and proper Harvard has given all of us a free ride...
