DESPITE WARNINGS of falling prices Toshiba is pressing ahead with an enormous investment in a flash memory plant in northern Japan.

Reuters, via the Japanese national paper the Asahi Shimbun, has reported that the Toshiba factory will come on stream in April 2009 and produce 200,000 wafers per month.

Tosh and Samsung like to battle it out for flash dominance and the firm believes the new plant will give it the edge. 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.
