Unsung innovators: Lynn Conway and Carver Mead
Lynn Conway and Carver Mead two opened up the chip design field in new ways, allowing engineers outside the big semiconductor companies to pump out bigger and better digital chip designs -- and do it faster than ever.

Specialists have retrieved about 99% of the data on a disk drive on board the crashed space shuttle Columbia. Don't miss the photographs of the recovered drive. These big ideas were supposed to revolutionize technology, but they never actually appeared. In a few cases, you'll be glad they didn't. Nearly 20 years after the first Internet worm, Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols takes stock of the malware/anti-malware landscape and spotlights how the two sides are approaching the battle. Though some thought it was released too soon, Mac OS X 10.5 has matured into a solid operating system, says reviewer Michael DeAgonia.
