GIANT chip software firm Cadence is in talks with large private equity firms, the New York Times said.

The paper said Cadence has talked to both the Blackstone Group and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts.

It would be an expensive buy because Cadence has a market value of $6.4 billion. But behind the scenes and not so behind the scenes, PE firms have already considerable stakes in tech firms.

Last year the Blackstone Group bought Freescale. 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.
