BillyG, They are trying hard to exploit this new media. Dear Frequent Buyers Club Member: Has anyone out there found an "Easter Egg" yet? Taking a cue from computer software and game programmers, studios are being mischievous by hiding items in DVD releases and not telling anyone. The idea is that serious DVD junkies will discover these treats and then tell their friends or post the information to newsgroups on the Internet. New Line Home Video has included an unadvertised Marilyn Manson music video in its release of Spawn and a hidden game in The Lawnmower Man. The packaging offers no clue about the hidden features, which can only be accessed by undisclosed remote control commands from the discs' menus. Check it out on Spawn by clicking the right arrow button on the soundtrack menu- that's the starting point for your secret journey. Behind one of the doors is the music video- the others contain a horde of demons. If you release the demons four consecutive times, you'll get an animation of the Clown speaking backwards. If you really want to know what he is saying, you need to dub the recording and figure out a way to play it in reverse. Other titles that have hidden features include MGM's James Bond titles-Moonraker and Tomorrow Never Dies. Click on the martini glass in one menu and get some information about 007's favorite adult beverage. There is a lot of speculation already on the nature of the surprises in Tomorrow Never Dies, expected to be MGM's most elaborate DVD to date. Unfortunately, we'll all have to wait another two months to find out!

Intel -TSMC Foundry Deal Possible, Reports Say I think John already posted this. There are two things of interest here. First TSMC is also Cube's foundry (also ESST's and others). Second is TSMC already has a .25-micron process! Mark LaPedus 03/02/98 Electronic Buyers' News Page 06 Copyright 1998 CMP Publications Inc. Reports have surfaced that Intel Corp. may strike a deal to have its new i740 graphics processor manufactured on a foundry basis by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd.

Ltd. recently signed a $1 billion foundry alliance to make communications chips for Lucent Technologies Inc.
