Computation and engineering prove compelling
Article Abstract:
The attempted standardization of Unix was propelled by commercial rather than technical factors. Now that the pressure to develop alternative operating systems has diminished, superior systems may be created without having to be immediately turned into products. Computer-aided software engineering tools have been popularized by hype and powerful new workstations and networks. The Office of Science and Technology Policy has singled out computational science and technology as a possible driving force in software development during the next decade.

This assistant does it all; Sony's latest Clie PDA rivals a laptop, and for techies, its a digital playground
Article Abstract:
Sony's latest Clie personal digital assistant (PDA), the PEG-NX70V, is a compact device that incorporates a high-res screen, a keyboard, a digital camera, and a wireless networking card slot. The PEG-NX70V is powerful, but including so many capabilities in so small a space necessarily means that some corners had to be cut.
