ALCATEL IS SET to buy Nortel's 3G network unit for $320m, in a bulking up exercise that complements the recent agreement to combine with Lucent.

Business Week is reporting that that latter mega-merger is not liked by all but should still go through.

All being well, the thrilling name of the new company will be (FX: trumpets, apes swinging from beams, peacocks, drum roll, exit man pursued by bear) Alcatel Lucent. 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.
