LENOVO'S CEO has fallen on his sword and quit after the outfit announced a $96.7 million quarterly loss.

CEO William Amelio resigned after a management reshuffle. He will be succeeded as chief executive officer by chairman Yang Yuanqing. Co-founder Liu Chuanzhi would return as chairman, replacing Yang.

The outfit's global sales fell 20 per cent in the three months ending December 31 compared with last year.

Amelio joined Lenovo from Dell, where despite the fact sales more than doubled in the region and service levels improved significantly, he was fired in 2009 after the company reported substantial losses. 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.
