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.

o Retailer
GameStop Acquires Rival Electronics Boutique for $1.4 Billion
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. The combined company would count
over 3,200 U.S. and 600 international retail stores, accounting for
a combined nearly $4 billion in annual revenues. Reuters cited
analysts who estimated the combined company would command around
one-quarter of the video game retail market -- about the same as
Wal-Mart. "This merger will enable us to enter new international
markets and allow us to compete more effectively in the highly
competitive U.S. video game industry. We are merging these two
companies from a position of strength," said GameStop chairman and
CEO R. Richard Fontaine. Texas-based GameStop and Pennsylvania-based
Electronics Boutique expect the deal to close by May 2.

o Sony
Partners with Ascent, HP to Digitize Entire Film/TV Library
Las Vegas -- Hollywood studio Sony Pictures Entertainment

Media Platform software and hardware. "We have a long-standing
relationship with Sony Pictures Entertainment and today's
announcement is a powerful statement on how the industry is
addressing high-priority issues like security, time and
manufacturing efficiencies and new forms of distribution," said
Ascent CEO Ken Williams. The new system will enable Sony to easily
repurpose movies and TV shows for distribution on digital TV, DVD,
the Internet, cell phones and other emerging technologies.

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%).

Web, which could then be transferred to a TiVo box and viewed on
their televisions. "A deal to cooperate could happen quickly, but
then the details would have to be worked out," one source told
News.com. "The search companies need to work with companies like
TiVo because they have access to the living room, and they own a
television interface."
