Idei got hoots of approval for Sony Pictures Entertainment's biggest film of the year from the likes of Disney CEO Michael Eisner, Intel boss Andy Grove, Seagram's Edgar Bronfman Jr., Time Warner's Jerry Levin and DreamWorks' Jeffrey Katzenberg, to name...
...advances, like those in miniaturization. Although Sony still makes a ton of money on Walkmans, its competitive edge in such stand-alone products is fading in a world where music and video are increasingly being rendered in the digital language of computers.

By 2:45 it was an upside panic. In fact, Intel triggered a frantic wave of buying simply by not denying a rumor, reported on CNBC, that it was about to announce a massive buyback. In fact, it has one already, but why knock a specious but positive report? In the closing hour I locked in profits from the morning that...
