What they and other researchers are plotting is nothing less than a biomedical revolution. Like Silicon Valley pirates reverse-engineering a computer chip to steal a competitor's secrets, genetic engineers are decoding life's molecular secrets and trying to use that knowledge to reverse the natural course of disease. DNA in their hands has become both a blueprint and a drug, a pharmacological substance of extraordinary potency that can treat not just symptoms or the diseases that cause them but also the imperfections in DNA that make people susceptible to a disease...
...attempt to establish NT as the standard operating system for both PCs and workstations, Microsoft has made it available not only for Intelbased PCs but for computers based on other processors such as DEC's Alpha chip and Silicon Graphics' MIPS processor...
Over the next several days, French and Rhodes called on computer companies in Petaluma and nearby Silicon Valley to seek donations of equipment. The result was eight computers, which were put to use faxing 1,000 posters a minute to grocery chains and transportation hubs around the U.S. Two nationwide printshop chains, PIP and Kinko's, pitched in to convert the electronic images into high-quality hard copies at all their outlets. Local volunteers distributed the posters...
...would reduce the residential cost of solar electricity from 30 cents per kWh to near the 12 cents average price of electricity in California. Leading contestants in the scramble are Texas Instruments and Southern California Edison, which have joined forces to produce flexible solar panels from inexpensive low-grade silicon by 1994. The innovative technology will allow the panels to be integrated into car and building design and, even more important, will crash the price to $2.50 a watt...
