...sphere. The stars inside actually twinkle, thanks to the Hayden's one-of-a-kind Zeiss Mark IX projector. It even projects stars you can't see, unless you bring binoculars into the dome, and shows constellations with 3-D reality. A second projection system, driven by a Silicon Graphics supercomputer loaded with real astronomical data, lets visitors "fly" beyond the Milky Way. As they look back on their gradually diminishing home, it becomes just one more speck amid a lacy network of galaxies in the immense void...
...worked. What emerged over the next two years was a hypersmart and sassy voice that does for Silicon Valley and Alley what CNBC did for Wall Street. Knowing what you're talking about counts for a lot in a world of shrieking dotcom hype, and the Standard cut through the noise with speed, exuberance, minimal jargon and a dash of self-deprecating humor. Advertisers ate it up, and the Standard got very fat very quickly. Issue No. 1 had an anemic 25 pages of ads; now they frequently top 200. Ad revenues rose from less than $2 million...

Look carefully at Santa Clara, the heart of Silicon Valley, which has 5,400 more single guys than gals. Just beware of bachelors with plastic pocket protectors...
What's new about the future, and potentially more challenging to our species than Martian colonization or silicon brain implants, is that the partnership between the sexes is becoming entirely voluntary. We can decide to stick together--or we can finally say, "Sayonara, other sex!" For the first time in human history and prehistory combined, the choice will be ours...
...teenager, but a capitalist early bird out to get the worm. This truth informs those ads for Internet stockbrokers in which young punks with goatees and ponytails give investment advice to balding bosses or land private helicopters in their parents' backyard. Exaggerations? Forty-year-olds wish. Not when silicon billionaires like Jerry Yang of Yahoo (31 and worth more than $3 billion) have proved that the traditional interval between a boy's first shave and his first million need not be much of an interval at all. All over the nation's high-tech landscape, people are retiring within years...
