o Adobe Systems Acquires Macromedia in $3.4 Billion Stock Deal

San Jose, Calif. -- In a massive merger that will create new competition for Microsoft, Adobe Systems, a provider of publishing and Web software including Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat, announced on Monday that it will acquire Macromedia, developer of the Flash format, in an all-stock deal valued at $3.4 billion. The combined company will be able to offer media firms and other businesses a full suite of applications for creating rich media content for the Web and other platforms. "Customers are calling for integrated software solutions that enable them to create, manage and deliver a wide range of compelling content and applications -- from documents and images to audio and video," said Adobe CEO Bruce Chizen. "By combining our powerful development, authoring and collaboration software -- along with the complementary functionality of PDF and Flash -- Adobe has the opportunity to bring this vision to life with an industry-defining technology platform." The deal is expected to close in the fall of 2005.

Grapevine, Texas -- Video game retailer GameStop announced on Monday that it has agreed to acquire rival Electronics Boutique, for $1.4 billion in cash and stock.

o Sony Partners with Ascent, HP to Digitize Entire Film/TV Library

Las Vegas -- Hollywood studio Sony Pictures Entertainment announced on Monday that it has digitized more than 500 of its films and television titles, with the goal of creating a digital repository of its works that can more cheaply and efficiently be transmitted on various platforms.

o Infinity Broadcasting Partners with HP, Nokia on Interactive "Visual Radio"

Palo Alto, Calif. -- HP announced on Monday that it has partnered with radio giant Infinity Broadcasting, which operates 183 U.S. radio stations, to offer "Visual Radio" technology that brings interactive content to FM radio. Developed by cell phone maker Nokia and HP, Visual Radio enables FM radio listening on a cell phone, while adding the ability to synchronize album covers, tour information and links to purchase a CD or ringtones that are delivered over the mobile data network. Nokia, which develops the handsets capable of receiving FM, is already testing Visual Radio with radio stations and mobile network operators in Finland, Sweden, Germany and the U.K. The companies say that the technology will provide additional ad revenue and increase listener loyalty for radio stations, while mobile networks can increase data service usage revenues.

o Report: Europeans Flock to Gambling and Sweepstakes Sites

Paris -- New research from market analysis firm Nielsen/NetRatingsshows that Internet gambling websites are becoming increasingly popular in Europe. More than 14 million Europeans visited gambling and sweepstakes websites in February, representing about 14% of all Europeans with Internet at home. Nielsen/NetRatings said such sites were most popular in France and Sweden. The trend has yet to catch on in southern Europe, however, as fewer than 10% of Spaniards and Italians gamble online. The report also found that more than 3.2 million Britons visited online sites over the same month, a 45% increase compared February 2004. The National Lottery was the most popular gambling and sweepstake site in the U.K., attracting more than 1.3 million visitors, or about 35% of the overall market, followed by William Hill (6.3%), Partypoker.com (6.2%) and Ladbrokes (5.6%).
