...song for a couple of characters, but this fades in and out and becomes a frustrating medley selection from, we are assured in reports, his extensive LP collection. Indulgence and soundtrack worship reaches an unbelievable point when we are forced to watch Forster's bondsman go to a record store, browse among tapes, and finally buy, quite clearly, a Delfonics hit. The merchandisers of old chestnut love songs must be rejoicing with a future return more guaranteed than the suddenly fortunate surf bands who saw new sales with Pulp Fiction's skittering guitar soundtrack...
...answer, of course, turned out to be what gave Silicon Valley its name. Gordon Moore (who ran Fairchild's research arm and later became Grove's mentor as CEO of Intel) believed you could store those charges with an integrated circuit made by sandwiching metal oxide and silicon into an electrical circuit called an MOS transistor. Unlike trickier semiconductors, silicon is both a wonderful conductor of electrical charges and a nearly bottomless sink for heat, meaning it doesn't melt down as you push electrons under its surface at nearly light speed. Because it is made from refined sand, silicon...

Americans are working 160 hours more each year than they did 20 years ago, moonlighting is on the rise and nearly half the respondents in one survey said they have less time for lunch. They stop at the back-rub store for five minutes to get some quick relief. They stop at the supermarket to pick up a precooked "home-meal replacement."

What causes were available? There was no Vietnam War to protest, no sexual revolution or drug culture to adopt (live free and die), no generation gap worth exploiting. The Gap had become a clothing store, the counterculture reduced to a few average hysterics who thought it exciting to proclaim God dead and the family expendable. As for opposing technology, it seemed out of the question. A decision had already been made to join our machines rather than beat...
