MARKET RESEARCH firm iSuppli reckons that when Apple starts selling its iPhone, it will cream punters to the tune of a 50% gross margin.

The firm bases its projections on the bill of materials (BOM) for the iPhone, which it reckons will cost Apple about $250 to make for the 4GB version.

And the 8GB model is set to make the same amount of dosh if the beasts sell half as well as Apple hopes.

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.
