• Hot News: Item 1, Yahoo and eBay are teaming up. The two companies unveiled a partnership that could bring more ad revenue to Yahoo, which has been losing market share to Google.

• KSN Interview: Desktop publishing software came of age when Adobe released the second version of InDesign. Everything else, including the unfathomably difficult Quark XPress, faded into the background. Everything that is, except one program languishing in the software backwaters. Calamus.
