They found one in Electric Communities, a three-year-old start-up whose first product, a rich virtual world called Microcosm, proved too unwieldy for today's Web and has yet to be released. But CEO Larry Samuels had one edge over his rivals: his company wasn't (quite) bankrupt. Last spring, in a set of cash-free stock swaps, E.C. acquired both the Palace and OnLive Technologies, whose audio software lets multiple users talk live over the Net. In August, Samuels relaunched the Palace--and started giving the software away...
...school system in upstate New York faces a year 2000 problem that has nothing to do with computers. Last month a couple living in Grand Island gave their local elementary school two years in which to rid itself of peanuts. Why? So their three-year-old son, who suffers from a severe allergy to peanuts, won't be exposed to peanut butter, peanut oil or even "peanut dust" when he enters kindergarten in the fall of 2000. This demand for a peanut ban has divided the community and placed school officials in a tough spot. Can't they accommodate this...
...Generation-X imbibers, the perfect wine combines Bordeaux quality with Boone's Farm prices--and don't forget the hip label design. Which is why Laura Hartwig may become a very popular woman. She's the matron--and the face on the label--of the three-year-old Santa Laura winery in Chile's Colchagua Valley. The vineyard's Cabernet Sauvignons are full of lavish spice and berry flavors, with pleasant touches of vanilla and chocolate, all for just $10 a bottle. Chilean wines like Hartwig's are in demand at Wine Brats, a Gen-X club in Santa Rosa...
...Three-year-old UPN and the WB (co-owned by TIME's parent company, Time Warner) have avoided some of the network pitfalls but are yet to break into the black. They benefit from lower overhead costs and do not pay traditional compensation to stations. Moreover, they are striving to establish distinctive profiles in the crowded marketplace. UPN sees itself as a smarter throwback to the mass-audience network approach of the 1960s and '70s (among its newest shows: an updated version of The Love Boat), while the WB, the more successful of the two, has targeted teenage viewers with...
Johnson tosses pebbles at the pink plastic tricycle in her backyard in Ruckersville, a small Virginia town in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The tricycle belongs to Callie, the three-year-old doll who likes to suck ice on summer days and watch Jeff Gordon drive his race car--the three-year-old who University of Virginia Medical Center officials believe is the biological daughter of Rogers, not Johnson. Which would mean that Johnson's genetic child is the girl that Rogers and her boyfriend Kevin Chittum named Rebecca. They were raising her a couple of hours away...
