MOBO MAKERS Asustek and Gigabyte are bunging NT$8 billion into a joint venture, the Taipei Times reports. One US dollar buys NT$32.8.

The two firms have been the subject of merger speculation for some years. Gigabyte will fund its half of the JV by spinning off its own brand mobos and graphics card and will hold 51 per cent of the company.

The TT said the firms have denied that the JV is a response to threats from Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai. Gigabyte chairman Dandy Yeh is worried about severe price slashing. 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.
