Eastman Kodak and Intel join forces to offer photographs on compact disk
Article Abstract:
Eastman Kodak and Intel today plan to demonstrate a CD compact disk product that is designed to let PC users view, print and e-mail their traditional photographs. Analysts say Kodak is counting on its expected image improvements to boost the company's flagging digital-photography operations. Kodak and other photography vendors currently offer floppy-disk-based products that have not appealed to a wide audience. Customers will pay an unspecified surcharge for storing information on a private disk. The first new offering from Kodak's and Intel's six-month partnership then can plug into all standard CD-ROM drives, analysts say. The new product, which represents a transition from conventional cameras to digital photography, is expected to enter several test markets by the end of 1998.

Dole is helping efforts to curb Microsoft plans
Article Abstract:
Former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole has been representing several companies in lobbying against Microsoft's plans to influence the Internet business. Dole is contacting other companies on behalf of Netscape, Sun Microsystems and airlines reservation system Sabre Group Holdings, among others. A source said Dole has contacted more than 12 companies that either compete with Microsoft or would be affected by its expansion plans, such as securities companies. Dole, who has played a significant role in the campaign since around mid-Nov 1997, already has recruited more than six undisclosed companies, according to the source. The action suggests that the recent antitrust duel between Microsoft and the Justice Department is widening to include Washington, DC, companies and lobbyists.
