WHATEVER HAPPENED TO YESTERDAY'S HOT TECHNOLOGIES?

Remember push technology? Or virtual reality for the Web? Or Microsoft Bob? Some ideas are probably better left consigned to history.

TECH EXECS: WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

Say what you will about Carly Fiorina; she sure is resilient. The former Hewlett-Packard CEO has yet to play her next card (at press time), but in view of her corporate, political, and academic connections, there's probably no cookbook in the works.
