Is end demand for semiconductors beginning to grow? Some analysts seem to think that Q3 could see a return to growth in real end-user demand.
There was once a company founded in 1951 that was a by-word for successfully managing technological transition.

To start two posts in a week with 'Good Old EU' is totally unexpected. On Tuesday it was the EU's action in standardising mobile phone chargers, now it's bringing down the cost of phone calls and texting while abroad.

My thanks to Brent Przybus of Xilinx for a great new Americanism - the word 'impactful'. Impactful is a pearl of the genre: you know immediately what it means, it's useful, and it's a concise way of saying: 'it has impact'. One word instead of three, an obvious meaning, and it serves a purpose - the three qualities of a top-flight Americanism.

The trouble with government agencies is that they are run by people with consensual mind-sets. So when the government establishes an agency to foster innovation, it's establishing an oxymoron.
Here comes Intel, again, making a run for the mobile phone market. First time it tried buying start-up telecoms IC companies; second time it started making ARM chips (X-Scale); now, it's going the big company route - a new chip (Atom), a new OS (Moblin), a big acquisition (Wind River), and a big company collaboration (Nokia). Third time lucky?
