BRITISH FIRM CSR said it has bought two firms to aid it in its goal to offer GPS chips for handsets that will cost a piffling $1 apiece.

The firm bought Nordnav Technologies AB and Cambridge Positioning Systems which will allow CRS to introduce software architecture to help it in its one dollar goal.

Cambridge Positioning Systems has a set of extended GPS software algorithms allowing a faster location fix, while Nordnav has expertise in embedding wireless tech into small mobile applications without gobbling up too much power.

It's all rather spooky, given our Doug Mohney's latest column, here. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
