...benefits of developing operating systems (OSs) and applications software under the same roof will increase as new intelligent devices emerge over the next few years. Take the tablet PC. Today most people carry a paper notebook to meetings and then transcribe their notes to a PC. The tablet PC that we are developing will streamline that process. A small, lightweight, portable device, it will enable you to take notes, dictate, annotate and then seamlessly transfer everything to a PC or any other device. It will make meetings less of a chore...
Under the government's plan, however, Microsoft's tablet PC simply won't happen, because our OS and applications developers will be unable to collaborate. Almost every aspect of the tablet PC's evolution--starting with the design of handwriting-recognition applications--requires real-time collaboration between OS and applications developers. Today that happens spontaneously, just as it does at IBM and Sun Microsystems. Real-time collaboration is the cornerstone of software development...
...basic equipment from chemical testing kits to cars. Gatto trained himself with books and videos and bought his own cell phone, cameras, video and tape recorders for preserving evidence.

Manufacturers convert abandoned barns or garden sheds into e factories, which can be filthy. "They've been mixing chemicals in dirty cans I wouldn't even use for garbage," says Charles De Winter, director of the drug section...
LESS IS MORE Aspirin, the oldest of wonder drugs, has been recommended for years as a way of preventing a recurrence of stroke. But what about aspirin for folks who've never had a stroke? It's O.K. to take it within limits: up to one tablet a day seems enough to protect against common thrombolytic stroke, but two tablets a day doubles the risk of hemorrhagic stroke, an event far more likely to be fatal...
