Notebook component makers to see dropping prices in 2010
Taiwan-based makers of notebook components such as connectors and hinges, are expected to see their selling prices drop in 2010 as notebook makers are transferring the pressure from falling quotes to them, according to sources from component makers. However, since overall notebook shipments will increase in 2010, component makers may see gross margins drop, but profit may still see growth, the sources added.
Notebook makers have competed fiercely by cutting their quotes to vendors, are now asking component makers to adjust their prices to help maintain gross margins. They have also increased the frequency that prices are renegotiated from annually to quarterly, and some are even demanding adjustments on a per order basis.

China accuses US of using cyberwarfare
China raised the ante at the weekend in an escalating war of words with the US as the ruling Communist partys mouthpiece accused Washington of employing cyberwarfare. The editorial, published on Peoples Dailys website under the name Wang Xiaoyang, is the latest shot in an exchange of remarks that were triggered by Googles threat to pull out of China but are escalating into a full-scale dispute over the diverging values of China and the west.
The US was the first country in the world to introduce the concept of cyberwar; it has introduced and developed a new kind of army, a cyberarmy, and even set up a hacker brigade, Peoples Daily said in a vitriolic editorial. US intelligence agencies can, through technical means, fully monitor, follow and erase online information harmful to the US national interest. It is really ridiculous that under such circumstances, it demands other countries to allow the free flow of information on the net.

AMD Phenom II X4 910e 2.6GHz 65W TDP Processor Review
The AMD Phenom II X4 910e is an interesting 2.6GHz quad-core processor due to the fact that the chip features a 65W max TDP. This means you have a full-featured Phenom II quad core CPU for compute needs, but it also fits the bill for PCs built with lower power consumption, heat and noise in mind. Read on to see how the 910e performs.
The AMD Phenom II 910e is a Quad-core processor that features the Deneb core. The predecessor to the Phenom II 910e was the 905e. The Phenom II 905e had the same bus speed as the Phenom II 910e has but the multiplier was x12.5 while the Phenom II 910e has a x13 multiplier. That small bump in the multiplier is what accounts for the 100MHz difference in the two processors. That means that the AMD Phenom II X4 910e has a final clock frequency of 2.6GHz with 2MB of L2 and 6MB of L3 cache. Not bad specifications for a processor that has a TDP that is nearly half the Wattage used on other popular Phenom II X4 processors!
