Mickelson's passions are diverse: family, flying and the unified theory of the universe. He's a fan of physicist Stephen Hawking. "I find it very fascinating[the concept of] traveling at the speed of light and how the aging process ceases and how the planet has been extinct 20 different times," he says. "It's just a much bigger picture than the here and now." One of Mickelson's closest friends on the tour, Davis Love III, chuckles at his pal's cosmic ruminations. "Basically, I'm like, 'What the hell?'" he says. "Obviously, he's a very smart...

Until last year, that is, when Intel delayed production of its latest Pentium 4 chip and scaled back its proposed speed from 4 GHz to 3.8 GHz. That was partly owing to technical complications; pack too many transistors onto a microchip, and you have magnetic resistance and overheating issues that require bulkier fans and suck up more battery life in your laptop. But the bigger problem is simply that most of us no longer have such a need for speed, at least when it comes to everyday applications such as e-mail, Web browsers and spreadsheets, which work just...
