...December, a colleague remarked to me after seeing the three-inch-thick binder that I called my life: "Baratunde, I thought you were a PDA man." By PDA, he meant personal digital assistant. And he was right. Why shouldn't I, Mr. User assistant, Tech Talk computer friend, be using something electronic to organize my life instead of primitive paper products...
...continued quiet in Asia is really the key," says Schwartz. Tech bellwethers like Intel, Microsoft, and Cisco, supposedly the primary victims of sluggish overseas markets, have been rising steadily of late. And at home, potential flare-ups like the Lewinsky scandal ("Wall Street loves stability," Schwartz says) have had no effect on Bill Clinton's approval ratings--except to push them higher. And a military strike on Iraq looks weeks away. "Wall Street is emotional," Schwartz says. All the big players are buying, and when the mood is this good, only a real catastrophe is capable of spoiling...

The Vice President's poll numbers are up, and his Air Force Two press compartment is full of reporters who have little choice but to report on Gore and his 21st century agenda: solar-energy tax credits. High-tech classrooms. Computerized police departments. And the "Digital Earth initiative," Gore's vision of tomorrow's science museum, a 3-D virtual globe connected via the Internet to all the scientific, political, geographic and cultural data under the sun. "You reporters want scandal," says a senior Gore adviser, "but you have...
...years ago, ED GILLESPIE was busy orchestrating the Republican takeover of Congress as the G.O.P.'s top spinmeister. Now the man behind the Contract with America is shifting to high tech as he battles a new foe: a plan to ban software capable of encoding messages so securely that police can't crack them. A law proposed by the FBI would mandate an electronic peephole in all encryption programs so that government agents can read your files. The FBI claims this is necessary to protect against criminals.
