Apple to work with Toshiba on 'multimedia' products

Article Abstract:

Apple and Toshiba Corp are jointly developing a new multimedia product that can read CD ROM disks and combine sound and video with computers. The two companies are developing new consumer electronics devices that store data, sound, text and images. IBM and Time Warner Inc are also involved in the product development. The product, which will reach the market by mid-1993, will use software that is in development from Kaleida, the joint venture between Apple and IBM. Time Warner may contribute CD ROMs that take advantage of the vast magazine, video and movie operations Time Warner controls. Apple has made prior moves into the consumer electronics industry by teaming up with Sharp Corp in the development of the Newton electronic note-keeper, phone list and appointment calendar.

Adobe ignites technology selloff

Article Abstract:

Adobe Systems Inc's share price fell by nearly a third after the company announced, on May 24, 1990, that earnings and revenues for the company's current quarter would be lower than expected because of a drop in royalties from Apple Computer Inc, Adobe's largest customer. Adobe's announcement touched off a technology stock selloff on Wall Street, dragging down other computer and electronics stocks. On May 25, Adobe said that its earlier report of a 23 percent decline was incorrect, revising numbers slightly upward. But in spite of efforts to reassure investors, Adobe's share price recovered only slightly, closing at $35.25, compared with a low for the day of $33.25.

Computers used in new crime: desktop forgery

Article Abstract:

Counterfeiters and forgers are using microcomputers and printers to produce sophisticated-looking documents. Computers and laser printers that cost as little as $5,000 can generate documents that once required professional printers and typesetting equipment, and scanners can transmit the image of a document into a computer so that the image can be manipulated by a desktop-publishing or drawing program. All the equipment and software needed can be purchased for $5,000 to $15,000, according to experts on desktop publishing. So far, desktop forgery accounts for only a small percentage of counterfeiting, but security experts worry that the problem will grow.
