JAPANESE CONGLOMERATE Toshiba is to start selling LED lights for use at home.

Nikkei.net reported that its lighting division has already started selling the lights to commercial ventures, but has now cut the price of the products to around ¥20,000 (~$164).

That seems more than just a little tad expensive but Nikkei didn't say whether it was for a whole house rather than just one bulb. LED lights consume around a seventh the power of the incandescent variety.

The same wire also reports that Honda will compete with Sharp and Sanyo by gearing up a solar cell fab. Solar power is used a third of a million of Japanese homes. 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?
