...DIED. Ray Noorda, 82, known as the "father of network computing," who took over flailing tech company Novell in 1982 and led it to dominance in networking software that allowed users to share files and printers; in Orem, Utah. Noorda coined the term "coopetition"-companies making products that work together.

The REI Tech Beast ($215) is made of abrasion-, moisture- and tear-resistant ballistic nylon, and the wear points are reinforced with Hypalon patches to better bear rough-and-tumble conditions. The luxe new Tourbach line from Victorinox Swiss Army ($260-$700) boasts a Swiss-engineered fabric called Performax that is tearproof and grime and water repellent...
