...Bill the tousle-haired billionaire is back, bursting with business advice and all the exuberance of a boy genius. Sun, Apple, IBM and Intel are merely examples of companies that use digital nervous systems. You'd never guess they also play a major part in the feds' case. "Trial" to this Gates means nothing more than putting a new software product through its paces...
Such diktats, however, do not seem to apply to the DOJ suit, potentially the grimmest piece of news Microsoft has received in its 24-year existence. "This antitrust thing will blow over," a lackadaisical Gates told Intel executives back in 1995. When the government's complaint finally hit his desk in 1998, according to his own testimony, the software titan refused to read a word of it.

...there ever was a time for Microsoft employees to slap their boss with a reality check, this is it. The antitrust trial is on a six-week hiatus.

...Federal Trade Commission approved and announced Wednesday the details of its antitrust settlement with Intel.

Computer makers such as Compaq, IBM and Dell are highly dependent on Intel for advanced information when designing new computers that...
...slain American couple, Rob Haubner, 48, and Susan Miller, 42, were considering early retirement from Intel Corp. and a life of exotic travel when they left for Uganda. They had been in Africa before. "There was no fear," says Eric Pozzo, a friend and former co-worker. "Just nothing but unbridled excitement." Grimacing at the reports of the machete killings, Pozzo says, "These are deaths that you'd not wish on your worst enemy." But in central Africa today enmity is as deep as the forests...
