A REPORT from ipiq.com has analysed what effect AMD's acquisition of ATI will have on the marketplace.

The report considers patents held by the big four - saying that ATI has 569 US patents, compared to AMD's 7,574. But even though the ATI number is small, the patents underline a number of technologies that depend on them. Some are "highly influential".

Nvidia only has 295 but they're pretty important too in terms of interdependencies.

It considers the effect of other possible takeovers, too. There's a link to the PDF from this page. µ

INQ Poll

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.
