IT WAS CLOSE, but in the end, Apple is not using Intel CPUs in its recently announced iPhone.

Apple would be using Intel processors if it wasn't for one small thing - mighty Chipzilla sold its XScale business to Marvell Technologies.

A chief of Chipzilla Italy told Italian business magazine Il Sole 24 Ore that Apple still shares a link with Intel, since it's using Intel-developed XScale chips. However, iPhone still comes with Intel's flash memory - the same one that is being built into iPod Nanos. 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.
