...Kodak's strategy of playing at both ends of photo technology isn't developing as planned. Last month Big Yellow, blaming a flagging film market on the U.S. economic slump, announced that its first-quarter net earnings were off almost 50% from the prior year. More troubling to Wall Street was that Kodak, citing the soft outlook, backed away from its previous forecasts for the second half of the year.

...Grimonprez’s art is more atmospheric than digital. The exhibition’s aims scream high-tech, cool, innovative—but aesthetically, all the gallery offers is three white walls, a yellow lounge seat, a bunch of airline flight magazines and two televisions with a video stand. But then you pop a video into the VCR, take a seat on the lounge cushion, and while waiting for the video to load, grab a magazine. There the art begins...
