  1. Kodak is a sad shell of its former self.

  3. Leica, the other fine German optic company, competes with Zeiss in some products such as binoculars but not the semi-conductor stepper market. Leica however dominates the high-end German photography industry with its M-series cameras and lenses. Today, almost all Zeiss-branded camera lenses are made by Japanese companies. I wonder why Leica never tried to break into the stepper market. Maybe it only has room for one player, at least in Europe?

  4. How about an article about hydrogen flouride and how a couple years ago the Japanese government sorta banned the sale of this essential chemical to Korean semiconductor companies? The Koreans had their own manufacturers, except they couldn't make it pure enough. But the move might have backfired on the Japanese because the Koreans became less reliant on them.
