Back to the Future Steve Jobs didn't invent the tablet computer. In the past 10 years, practically every serious PC company has shipped one. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, a man impervious to the lessons of history, arrived at the Consumer Electronics Show (the Comdex de nos jours) in January waving yet another Windows tablet, this one made by Hewlett-Packard. But nobody has ever gotten the marketplace to pay attention. The tablet computer is like a siren that calls seductively to computer engineers, only to wreck them fatally on the stony coast of our total lack of interest...

Jamie Mai and Charlie Ledley, two 30-somethings who started trading in a Berkeley garage, "assumed that there was some grownup in charge of the financial system." There wasn't. In The Big Short, Michael Lewis, who chronicled an earlier era of Wall Street excess in 1989's Liar's Poker, tells the story of investors who asked questions that no one else...
Hulse buckled down and induced a ground ball to third off the bat of Pioneer Steve Tedesco. Sophomore Jeff Reynolds fielded the ball at third base with a backhanded stab and considered tagging Drowne before throwing to first. The hesitation cost Reynolds, and his toss sailed over senior first baseman Dan Zailskas’ head, allowing Drowne to score the game’s only...
