AMD SAYS its proposed $5.4 billion acquisition of ATI Technologies Inc. was approved by the Canadian Minister of Industry.

The chip maker said it had to make a few promises to the Canadians, including continuing to do a spot of R&D up there in the wild expanses, and nominate a Canadian for election to its board some time in the next five years.

The deal remains subject to approval by ATI shareholders, who are meeting today and are expected to lap it up. 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.
