THE FORMER president and CEO of ATI Technologies is quitting AMD at the end of the month.

According to a press release, Orton said he was leaving AMD with mixed feelings.

What that means we're not quite sure.

David-orton AMD will replace him, if he can be replaced, with Adrian Hartog, while the head of its graphics division, Rick Bergman, is now going to report directly to Hector Ruiz.

How puzzling. AMD only took over ATI about a year ago. No doubt he's not short of a penny or two, but replacing Orton is going to be pretty difficult. 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.
