DUTCH FIRM Royal Philips Electronics said that it is to flog its shares in chip fab, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).

According to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission Philips is looking for an "orderly exit" from its shareholding in TSMC.

Philips is thought to hold close to 13 per cent of the shares in the fab.

At current prices, the firm could expect to realise around $2.5 billion (US) from the sale. 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.
