300,000 Xbox 360s for Euro Launch
European gamers should expect similar scenes in retail stores across the continent on Friday as seen in the United States the week before. That's because Microsoft plans to only have about 300,000 units of its new Xbox 360 console available at launch, according to a company executive. Chris Lewis, Xbox's European head, told a German weekly on Sunday that there was a good chance the console would sell out across Europe as well.

extent of copyrighted material being hosted on Google Video earlier this summer and released a Top 50 list of apparently copyrighted movies.
But, in the latest spot-check of Google Video conducted from 10 to 18 September, the NLPC claims to have discovered 300 additional
instances of apparently copyrighted films, including over 60 movies released this year.
Several popular summer releases including
Shrek the Third, Oceans Thirteen, The Bourne Ultimatum and Knocked Up were easily found on the video sharing site.
The 300

27.09.2007MS drifts towards over-the-top Java services with Musiwave buy
All the coverage thus far about Microsoft splashing out $46m for Musiwave, has been about how the mobile music service supplier has had a dramatic
fall from grace, and has cost parent OpenWave some $80m.
But perhaps the focus should be on Microsoft buying a company that
exclusively uses Java applications, mostly on Symbian handsets, selling content in non-Microsoft formats.
All of these are an
increasing trend within Microsoft and more and more evidence that it has finally forgotten about the operating system wars on the handset and moved
its platform targets up to the universal entertainment client “ in other words downloadable, over the top services.

01.02.2008Intel, Micron Select Singapore for NAND Flash Fab
Intel Corp. and Micron
Technology Inc. have agreed to
site their fourth wafer fab
for the production of NAND
flash memories in Singapore.
Since the formation of the
Intel-Micron joint venture IM
Flash Technologies LLC in
January 2006, the companies
have brought online a 300-mm
NAND fabrication facility in
Manassas, Virginia, and a
Lehi, Utah, 300-mm wafer fab
is on track to be in
production early in 2007. The
venture also currently
produces NAND through existing
capacity at Microns Boise,
Idaho, fabrication
facilities.
Intel
and Micron said Monday (Nov.
6) that they intend to form a
joint venture in Singapore to
build and manage a NAND flash
wafer fab that will come
online in the second half of
2008. The fab would initially
use a 50-nm process technology
on 300-mm wafers. The
Singapore JVs facility is
expected to break ground in
the first half of 2007.
Micron already has a joint
venture in Singapore - with
Hewlett Packard, Canon and the
Singapore Economic Development
Board - for the production of
DRAMs.
"We are
quite pleased with the
progress IM Flash Technologies
has made in a very short
period of time positioning us
for future growth in the NAND
marketplace, said Brian
Harrison, general manager of
Intel's flash memory group,
in a statement. "By executing
to our strategy of ramping one
300-mm fab per year, we fully
expect to become one of the
top manufacturers of NAND
flash memory."

01.12.2007Sun's ODF plugin for MS Office now available
The Sun ODF Plug-in is an
extension to Microsoft Office
that allows it to read and
write ISO standard ODF files.
It supports Office 2000, XP,
and 2003, and works on Windows
XP and Vista. It adds to MS
Office the ability to read and
write ODF text, spreadsheet,
and presentation files (.odt,
.ods, and .odp) - the ISO
standard editions of MS Word,
Excel, and PowerPoint files.
Furthermore, ODF text
files (.odt) can be made the
default format for MS-Word
thanks to this plug-in (and
double-clicking on an ODF text
file on the desktop would
automatically open it in
MS-Word).
Addressing
the accessibility concerns of
existing MS-Office users was
one of the key reasons behind
Sun's development of the ODF
plug-in, and I have been one
of several folks involved in
testing the accessibility of
this plug-in (along with
several beta testers whose
employees with disabilities
were likewise doing
accessibility testing).
