| A random search by CFO magazine recently uncovered E-tail sites hawking pipe cleaners, arugula seeds, and aglets. |
|
| These function somewhat like the aglets on the ends of shoelaces that keep them from unraveling. |
|
| The plastic things on the end of shoelaces are called aglets. |
|
| In fact, the main problem is likely to be protecting your own aglets and the information they contain from prying eyes. |
|
| More ambitiously, an aglet should be able to share information with other aglets whenever they happen to meet. |
|
| Every detail is carefully considered, from the metallic glazes and stacked-leather heels to the signature aglets that cap each shoelace. |
|
| Watch out for aglets coming soon to a computer near you. |
|
| The idea is that in the electronic marketplace, aglets will assume roles on behalf of their owners—such as salesman and customer, or auctioneer and bidder. |
|
| There is more and more and more on this ball in this void spinning in this baking heat all encompassed in aglets of time. |
|
| Customization choices include leather and cord laces, kilties, tassels, knots and metal aglets. |
|
| One of life's minor but prevalent annoyances is the deterioration of the aglets on one's shoelaces. |
|
| Like shoestring aglets, telomeres stop chromosomes from unraveling or being eaten away at the ends. |
|
| Aglets are intended to go on circuitous searches around the Net like a child on an Easter-egg hunt. |
|
| A number of platforms are possible candidates for the implementation, including Aglets Work Bench from IBM, Odyssey from General Magic and Voyager from Object Space. |
