A REPORT by market research firm IDC estimated sales will rise by 12.6 per cent this year to hit 257.5 million units.

It's the Asia Pacific region and the "rest of the world" that accounts for that performance. Here IDC means countries that aren't the US, countries in western Europe and Japan.

Double digit growth will continue for the next two years, said IDC, while portable machines will represent over half of shipments during 2007 and 68 per cent of volume in the US and Western Europe in 2011.

US growth will be about five per cent for the next two years with commercial spending fuelling growth. 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.
