UPSIDE MAGAZINE'S AUGUST COVER STORY FEATURES ROB GLASER AND HOW REALNETWORKS IS DRIVING THE INTERNET MULTIMEDIA REVOLUTION UPSIDE ALSO Interviews Microsoft's Craig Mundie, Looks at 'Wired' China And Profiles the Growing Online Drugstore Market PR NEWSWIRE - July 07, 1999 13:57 SAN FRANCISCO, Jul 7, 1999 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- A high-profile company based in the Pacific Northwest is at the forefront of developing and delivering multimedia over the Internet, and it's not Microsoft. In Upside magazine's August issue, senior staff editor Chuck Lenatti interviews Rob Glaser, the man behind the successful Internet multimedia company, RealNetworks Inc., and takes an in-depth look at how the Seattle-based company is becoming a serious threat to Microsoft's multimedia division. In this month's cover story, Glaser, CEO and chairman of RealNetworks, talks candidly to UPSIDE about the future of audio and video on the Internet, his company's deal with Snap.com, and why he left Microsoft to focus exclusively on the convergence of media, communication and interactive visualtechnology. In another August feature, Craig Mundie, Microsoft's senior vice president of consumer strategy, discusses the company's plans for the future of personal computing. In an interview with Upside Senior Contributing Editor Richard Brandt on the day Microsoft's new alliance with AT&T Corp. was announced, Mundie shed new light on Microsoft's vision of Internet life beyond the PC, the company's interactive television agenda and the fall of the "smart home." The August Upside shows that competition is fierce in the online drugstore arena. With companies such as Drugstore.com, PlanetRx, CVS, Rite-Aid, Walgreen and others all looking to get their share of a $200 billion market, there's going to be bloodshed. In "The Drug Czars," Upside contributing writer Robert McGarvey profiles the leaders in the online drugstore industry, predicts which companies will survive and puts Drugstore.com, Soma.com and PlanetRx to the test. This month's "On Location" goes to China to examine that country's love/hate relationship with the Net. Upside contributor David James puts to rest the myth that China is cyberphobic and that the Chinese government is censoring and impeding Web development. On the contrary, James tells how the government is encouraging and supporting China's information technology growth and using the Internet to become a significant part of the world community. Capping off this month's issue is a look at desktop hardware, the sights and sounds of Upside's Southeast Technology Conference at Duke University, a profile of MIT's Michael Dertouzos, Upside's picks for the most inflated tech stocks, highlights from the UpsideToday.com Web site and theDailyTish.
