SOME time ago we spoke with some Foxconn executives and we learned what the company wants from its Winfast brand.

The Winfast brand is owned by Leadtek but since Spring 2004, big Foxconn has licensed this brand and uses it for the vast majority of its AMD based retail motherboards.

Foxconn is actually a registered trademark and brand of Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Company and the Foxconn brand will be used for retail Intel based motherboards.

So the confusion is not going to go away. Leadtek will produce and brand the Winfast graphic cards and some other of its own products while Foxconn will market all the AMD boards with the same brand. Geddit?!? 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.
