...programmer with a fondness for science fiction, started Craigslist in 1995 as an informal list of Bay Area social events. He waxes poetic about Craigslist's unusual business mission to create a commons that the company maintains rather than a product that it sells.

Craigslist's only revenue, projected to be as much as $11 million this year, comes from...

It turned out that the Matrix--Scott Spock plus husband-and-wife team Graham Edwards and Lauren Christy--was named in an homage to the womb (no one said it was a great homage) and that Christy was a thirty-something mom too. Phair was won over. "You go in, and they have the music pretty much written...
...college, the laid-back big man from the U.S. Virgin Islands displayed so little emotion on the court that opposing fans derisively called him Spock. But after defeating the New Jersey Nets and leading his San Antonio Spurs to their second NBA championship in five years, perennial All-Star power forward Tim Duncan, 27, has been starting to act a little more like Captain Kirk.
