re: Look at the president of Harvard and how he was "lynched" for even suggesting gender differences being the cause of heavy male representation in the sciences. Well, if the President of Harvard is a conservative, that sort of shoots down your whole argument. How did he get there? If he was "lynched", I assume he was fired? Seems to me he was mostly "lynched" in the press. John

The Harvard president didn't even include one statement acknowledging that research topics are quite male dominated (e.g. auto performance rather than auto safety), and as such that plays a very, very huge role into whether women pursue science or not. And you've got to love how the math story sets in grade school centered around themes about baseball and football. He actually sounded pretty uninformed to me and one sided. And in typical fashion, he blamed women, rather than looking in the mirror and exploring what his role might be in the matter. On a serious note, how will Intel succeed with the Home Digital, if the OEMs don't know how to fully represent home consumer demand? Regards, Amy J
