...dreams of being a rock star - or at least a winner on Pop Idol - but few parents want to endure the cacophony from their very own Sheryl Crow-in-training. The new HandBand ($90) from KGI Consumer Products offers a cheap alternative. Using nothing more than a high-tech pair of gloves and a portable, wireless receiver, it lets kids play virtual guitar, keyboards or drums at less-than-earsplitting volume. Each bend of the finger produces a different note; you switch instruments with the push of a button. It's a great idea, but the execution needs work...
...peacekeeping and nation-building missions, the Bush administration cannot afford to shortchange American servicepeople. And lawmakers shouldn’t give Bush the chance. House and Senate Republicans should show some uncharacteristic backbone and prevent the Bush administration from wasting this spending increase on Pentagon pet projects and hi-tech fighter programs that are for the most part useless in the fight against terror.

Last fall Candle closed the center and transferred the work to India. Says Campbell: "When you take the high-tech industry and send it overseas, where...
...harmony and hidden discontent would be too cynical. To some extent, this was because the meeting started to return to the topics that once defined it: the global economy and the future of technology. The annual Japan dinner attracted a bigger crowd than it has for years; the high-tech heroes had more of a spring in their step. (One leading indicator for tech-stock bulls: vintage '95 Taittinger champagne at the Silicon Valley reception.) But there were other signs of optimism, notably the scores of young business leaders from the Arab world who spoke eloquently of their desire...
