...someone's basement than in downloading music from the Internet. Most major record labels use their websites as promotional vehicles, letting you play 30-second teasers but not download entire songs. For acts that haven't cracked the Top 40, however, the Web is becoming fertile ground. At the Intel New York Music Festival last month, the chipmaker simulcast more than 300 live performances from 20 Manhattan clubs on the festival's website (at www.intelfest.com in hopes of stirring interest in digital-music delivery. Missed it? No problem. You can simply download selected tracks and--if you have...
Neither the Internet nor the music industry is ready to begin digital delivery of entire CDs, but music lovers of the wired generation may demand it. "Kids prize their computers more than their stereos," says Wendy Hafner, director of music marketing at Intel. Record companies "would have to be crazy not to take advantage of that," she says.

"Although the published expectation was higher, at 68 cents, the way Intel announced it was much more important than the actual number," says Schwartz. "They predicted a better performance for the next quarter," and that...
...Sounds great -? but can we believe it? In contrast with pronouncements from Washington, the answer is probably. "Intel?s a bellwether for the PC industry, as well as being on the front lines of the Asian crisis, so everyone listens very carefully," says Schwartz. "If there were bad news coming, they would be preparing investors for it. Otherwise, next time around, they?d get hammered." How often fear and honesty go hand in hand...
