A MAN from Sun - not The Sun - has done a Mandy Rice-Davies and suggested Intel's Itanic processor is not much longer for this world.

The San Jose Mercury News has interviewed Sun man Andy Bechtolsheim, who said he returned to the firm because he saw Opteron systems were the way to go.

Asked how he saw the Itanium chip competing with the AMD Opteron chip, he said that the Intel 64-bit flagship was "basically dead".

But, just like Mandy said when interrogated by a prosecuting counsel as part of the Profumo affair said, "Well he would, wouldn't he?". 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?
