THE FIRM whose employees now have to go play American cricket on someone else's level playing field said that it has a cunning new scheme to woo the channel.

It said its AMD "validated solutions" programme will include 1P server mobos with a choice of 10 mobos from the usual suspects including Supermicro, Tyan, Asus, ECS, Gigabyte and MSI.

It also wants the channel to start flogging its 6400+ X2 "Black Edition" - a programme for gamers which has a 3.2GHz dual core processor chip, DDR2 memory and a 2MB L2 cache at price of $251 without a fan in the processor in a box category. 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.
