ELECTRONICS WEEKLY said that UK based parallel chip firm Clearspeed is chatting to AMD about producing a co-processor.

According to the report, the Clearspeed co-processor will help speed AMD multicores on their way amidst concerns that the forthcoming Cell chip will fly along like the proverbial off a hot shovel.

Electronics Weekly quotes an AMD exec as saying the Cell chip was a wake up call. 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.
