TROUBLED Japanese chip maker Elpida is in discussions with three Taiwan chip makers about a possible merger, according to Japan's public broadcaster, NHK.

All the outfit is apparently seeking to "enhance cooperation" with ProMOS Technologies, Powerchip Semiconductor, and the Elpida-PSC joint venture Rexchip Electronics Corporation.

Elpida is the world's third largest maker of DRAM chips and has seen its market go down the loo in 2008. 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.
