THE TWO BIGGEST Korean LCD panel makers have formed an alliance with scores of other local manufacturers in a bid to keep the Taiwanese and Japanese display wolves from the door.

According to nikkei.net, the two big boys are the leading members of a newly formed Korea Display Industry Association (KDIA) and will source supplies and fund R&D to free themselves from buying components abroad.

The wire said the KDIA has already sketched out a road map for the next 10 years covering LCD, plasma and OEL technologies. 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.
