...feature leather seats set two by two with no center seats. Dealing with a third fewer seats than standard passenger planes have, flight staff can give more individual attention. Besides, says Bob Bell, president of the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce, "they have hot, freshly baked chocolate-chip cookies...
...unless they receive financial aid). Steven Bochco Productions could make do with the studios, editing suites and equipment. But in lieu of Bochco will be instructor David Schaeffler teaching a little girl, who is wearing a headset and standing on a milk crate, how to manipulate a large, 3-chip Sony studio camera. In the computer-graphics room, instructor Deena Segot will be critiquing an advanced camper's animation created in Macromedia Director. Later the same day, Segot will have beginner students draw butterflies in Fractal Design Painter. Like butterflies, children need freedom. So each day, campers can socialize outdoors...
...analysts were asking whether the Digital action was an honest plea for justice or just the bared-fang attack of a cornered and wounded animal. The tottering hardware giant had bet heavily on its $2.5 billion Alpha microprocessor to return it to prosperity. Alpha is unquestionably the fastest chip on the market, but its speed hasn't overcome Intel's marketing clout. In 1996, according to Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Mercury Research, Intel shipped some 65 million Pentium chips, or 76% of the microprocessor market, compared with 200,000 Alphas. And this year looks grimmer still: 18 million Pentiums shipped through...
With the ramparts collapsing around him, Digital CEO Robert Palmer must have seen little choice but all-out attack. The lawsuit claims Intel infringed on 10 Digital patents related to Alpha and other chips--though Palmer doesn't claim this piracy occurred during negotiations between the companies in 1990 and '91. Intel was then considering licensing Alpha technology for its next-generation chip; after both companies signed a confidentiality agreement, Dig- gital revealed the Alpha design. But the talks fell apart, and Pentium, sans Alpha, went on to become the soul...
...wisdom is that Digital's aim is to gain an out-of-court settlement that would give it a foothold in Intel's fortunes--either a cross-licensing agreement granting access to Intel innovations for Digital products or a role in the development of Intel's new 64-bit chip, code-named Merced and expected in 1999. "This is a serious issue," Digital's chief technology officer Bill Strecker insisted to TIME. "Our intention is to take this case through to trial." An Intel spokesman says the company is innocent and will defend itself with all due vigor...
