Some photo developers can already turn your film prints into digital files, a trend that Kodak and Intel hope to nurture with a jointly created Picture CD service slated to begin later this year.

Unlike Microsoft, however, Intel is trying its level best to head off a lawsuit. Washington, one government source says, has been "swarming with Intel lawyers...
