JAPANESE GIANT Mitsubishi said it will take over a Renasas fab in Kumamoto, Japan.

The firm said it wants to increase production capabilities for six inch wafers and eight inch wafers.

Renesas got out of the flash memory biz in December 2005, and because of this its Kumamoto factory has operated under capacity.

Now this is jolly handy for Mitsubishi because it has an existing fab slap next door to the Renesas fab.

No terms were announced but the transfer will happen in April. 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.
