Under the ocean, up in the clouds

Article Abstract:

Venezuela hopes to attract tourists with finds taken from the wreck of a French warship discovered by the Las Aves islands, located around 160 km offshore from Caracas, Venezuela. The finds, which date from 1678, will be displayed in a special underwater museum on Margarita Island, which is already popular with tourists. Bolivia hopes to attract more tourists to Potosi, one of its poorest cities. Visitors to the city can already pay around $10 to see how ore is taken from its mines.

RCA Videodiscs: Missed Grab for the Brass Ring

Article Abstract:

After spending $500 million and devoting 10 years to research and development RCA has announced it will cease production of CED Videodisc Players and begin a phase-out of the product. The CED player was simply unable to provide sound and picture quality superior to VCRs at attractive price differentials. Despite RCA's efforts, the CED Videodisc Player never caught on with consumer electronics salesmen. Six basic rules for successful technology product introductions are given.
