I also brought along a weird little gizmo called Modo ($99 at www.modo.net) Modo is a city guide that runs on its own funky-looking hardware (it resembles an evil ladybug from outer space). It covers only New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco, but the beauty part of Modo is that it receives its listings wirelessly, so you don't have to synch...

Horror stories about the wall-less world abound. When dividers at a Manhattan placement agency were removed to foster "working together," reports Cecile Marie, 41, the 12 people in the 20-ft. by 30-ft. space started yelling across the room to one another.
