...images between the camera and a computer. When it hits stores this summer, Mavica will boast a suite of other features: a zoom lens, a small preview and playback screen and four picture-tinting options.

...newest CD, Orblivion, has sold only 65,000 copies in the U.S.; recent releases by such vaunted acts as the Future Sound of London and Underworld have moved fewer than 60,000--the Spice Girls sold more than that last week.

At this weekend's Denver summit of the Group of Seven leading industrial nations, the U.S. will push Japan to open its economy further.

...company. "There's only so many Ferraris I want to own," he says. But he takes issue with Romero's version of their breakup. "John's a good designer, and he's got artistic talent. But the fact is that after he got rich and famous, the push to work just wasn't there anymore." Romero didn't quit last fall, says Carmack. "He was handed his resignation...
