    Micron Buries the Hatchet with China
    Micron has a very long history of counter cyclical investing, buying the assets of vanquished competitors when the memory industry is at the bottom of the cycle, such as it is right now.

    Over the weekend, Micron announced that it had an agreement to acquire the assets of the now stalled Jinhua memory fab ...

    It wasn't enough that Lyft and Uber introduced the world to the concept of taxi and limousine drivers committing suicide, we now have Lyft and Uber drivers committing suicide. In other words, it's not enough that the business models of these companies are suicidal, they are actually visiting suicide ...

    The good news is that Lyft�s initial public offering is over-subscribed, according to published reports. That also happens to be the bad news.

    Like its disruptive corporate kin � Waymo, Uber, and Tesla Motors � Lyft is out to creatively destroy the automotive industry. In the process, the company is set on a course for its own annihilation � and investors ...

    Every system-on-chip (SoC) designer worries about power. Many widely used electronics applications run on batteries, including smartphones, tablets, autonomous vehicles, and many Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. Even �big iron� products such as network switches and compute servers must be careful when it comes to power ...
