DIGITIMES reports that fourth-quarter motherboards could suffer from a shortage of low-end Intel Celeron and AMD Socket AM2 Sempr0n chips.

The article, here, cites analyst Charles Chou of Fubon Securities as saying the big board makers are seeing surprisingly weak demand that suggests a lack of entry-level chips catering to emerging markets.

More could be revealed next Wednesday when several board makers are due to report financial results. 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.
