Last month, Alcatel (NYSE: ALA) CEO Serge Tchurek said that a Lucent (NYSE: LU) asset sale "is a determining event for all the actors in this market." Apparently, the French telecommunications equipment giant wants to play more than a bit part in this epic. http://www.fool.com/m.asp?i=416502 <<FULL STORY: http://www.fool.com/m.asp?i=416503 ----------------------------------------------------------------- NEWS TO GO ----------------------------------------------------------------- It's a day that will live in blockbuster infamy. Disney's (NYSE: DIS) Pearl Harbor failed to live up to the hype as the film that would finally topple 1997's Jurassic Park's The Lost World from the top slot of the four-day opening weekend. The movie still nailed a respectable $75 million in estimated box office ticket sales. I'll be taking a closer look at how the summer multiplex season is playing out later today. Talk about your Palm (Nasdaq: PALM) pilots! Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HWP) and accounting titan PricewaterhouseCoopers announced that they would team up to provide consulting services to the airline industry on how to introduce handheld computers and the Internet into the work space. Is improving communication services the key to air carrier efficiency? Maybe. Now let's see them do something about that bland airline food. The chips are down. That might not be much of a surprise to semi watchers, but a closer glimpse into the industry's slump was warranted. According to the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics group, global chip sales are expected to fall by 14% this year from last year's $204 billion showing. ----------------------------------------------------------------- HOT TOPICS ----------------------------------------------------------------- A KRISPY KREME CHALLENGE What's the justification for Krispy Kreme's current price?
