    Re: News - NVIDIA to acquire baseband chip company Icera for $367 million

    Slight article typo - there is a missing million in the article.

    Regarding the acquisition I hope UK jobs are kept or maybe this will mean more people will be hired at the site.

    I wonder if at this rate ARM will be bought up too by another company.

    Like Apple?

    I think the ARM one is an odd question. While i know we're meant to take analysts thoughts with a PoS form what i can tell/read its either that the ARM bubble will burst, or that it will just keep going from strength to strength. While that is as obvious as saying a football match will end in a win, draw or loss - ARM's current trend will most likely see it at the extremes of the scale, who knows, maybe even ARM will buy Nvidia up for example.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    I'm always doing that - nearly did it in the headline!!

    I still don't think there's any point in buying ARM. It's too ubiquitous for anyone to be allowed to deny the rest of the market access to its technology and it would take a long time to get ROI on the cost of paying licenses and royalties.

    From the press release.
    This expectation does not take into account significant revenue synergies that the companies anticipate.
    That sounds ominously managerspeak.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
