Micron will return its focus to making memory
Micron plans to spin off its division that makes sensors used in cameras and cell phones, into a separate company so Micron can focus on memory manufacturing, Chairman and CEO Steve Appleton said Thursday.And despite heavy losses lately, Micron is willing to spend money to seize opportunities to consolidate the industry and bolster the company's dynamic random-access memory and flash memory businesses, Appleton told analysts."We're well positioned to participate as opportunities come up," he said at the company's annual analysts conference, held this year in Salt Lake City. "If you look at the strength of our cash balance sheet, it's very significant, and it's very good."Spinning off image sensors into a separate company would mark the end of a diversification effort the company hoped would reduce its reliance on cyclical DRAM and flash memory.
Thinking About Tomorrow
In fact, they'll be able to do even more, as mobile gadgets increasingly come equipped with global-positioning-system gear that can track your every move. As you drive around, for instance, you might get reviews of nearby restaurants automatically delivered to a screen in your car -- maybe even projected onto the windshield. The spread of GPS hints at another big change on the horizon. We're going to be under a lot more pressure to make our personal information public -- everything from where we surf online to where we're standing at a particular moment. Companies will offer us special deals and other incentives so that we'll let them track our activity. That information, in turn, will let the companies present us with a steady stream of intensely focused marketing whenever we go online, turn on our cellphone or even walk into a store.
Apple’s new baby has Microsoft feeling radio ga ga
Google's aspirations to gain a foothold on the small screen hardly stop there, with the search engine showing off its Android mobile phone system in Barcelona this week. Perhaps this explains why Microsoft wants to buy Yahoo!, which runs searches on a few mobiles, although one could say the $42 billion (£21 billion) might be better spent pursuing RIM or a mobile maker. All of which leads back, not all that obviously, to GCap Media, the home of Classic FM. Why bother to get up from the sofa to turn on that expensive, retro-styled DAB radio to listen to Birdsong when it would be a lot easier to press a Classic FM buttton on an iPhone? Internet transmission uses global standards while DAB is confined largely to one country, which British media executives and policymakers arrogantly believed would be followed by a grateful world.
