All those blank spots in the broadband spectrum where no signals are being broadcast are known as white spaces. They’re all over the place and all kinds of providers want to take advantage of them.So seven major tech companies — Comsearch, Dell, Google, HP, Microsoft, Motorola and NeuStar — have joined together to basically catalog all these white spots. The Federal Communications Commission in November said unlicensed devices could use those white spaces; this database will be a mandatory checkpoint for those

Sometimes one screen is just not enough to display everything you need or want to see. This is especially true for users who have lots of apps open at once or users who need a lot of screen real estate, such as for video or image editing. For such users, a second display is often the answer; but a second display can sometimes be overkill, represent a prohibitive expense, simply not fit on a desk with limited space, or a system just might lack a dedicated second video-out port. For these users, a small, inexpensive,

A U.S. federal judge on Tuesday postponed indefinitely the coordinated patent-infringement cases filed by Rambus against a collection of rival memory chipmakers that were scheduled to go to trial later this month. Judge Ronald M. Whyte of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California issued an order indefinitely postponing the long-running cases against Hynix Semiconductor, Micron Technology, Nanya Technology, and Samsung Electronics, pending appeals of earlier court decisions.

The lawsuits, which were filed in 2000 and scheduled to go to trial on February 17, allege that the defendants infringed Rambus patents in producing DDR DRAM–the most common type of memory in PCs today–as well as in making SDRAM and DDR2 DRAM. The vast majority of PCs and servers produced in the past several years use one of these types of memory, and variants of DDR are expected to be incorporated into PCs for the next several years.

Panasonic Corp. said Wednesday it will slash 15,000 jobs and shut down 27 plants worldwide to cope with plunging demand for its TVs, semiconductors and other electronics products. The world's largest maker of plasma display TVs also announced a net loss for the October-December quarter and lowered its forecast for the fiscal year through March to a net loss of 380 billion yen ($4.2 billion), its first annual loss in six years.

Panasonic joins a slew of other major Japanese companies, including Sony Corp. and Toshiba Corp., in announcing job cuts and forecasting a full-year loss as the global slowdown batters the world's second-largest economy. The Osaka-based manufacturer plans to cut the jobs half of which will come in Japan by the end of March 2010. They amount to about 5 percent of its 300,000-strong global work force. Panasonic also will shutter 14 overseas plants and 13 plants in Japan by the end of March to adjust production and cut costs, company spokesman Akira Kadota said.

Video game publisher Electronic Arts Inc posted weaker-than-expected results and said it would delay the release of several games, causing it to forecast a loss for the current fiscal year. EA said it would delay the release of “Sims 3,” “Godfather 2” and “Dragon Age” to fiscal 2010 from fiscal 2009, and that it would narrow its product portfolio and cut variable costs.

After disappointing fourth-quarter sales for several of its top titles, including the “Need for Speed” driving franchise, EA plans to cut costs and shift focus to developing what it hopes are big hits — such as its upcoming “Sims 3” game and games for Nintendo Co Ltd's Wii systems. “The Nintendo Wii is even more important than one year ago. It is a clear leader in this cycle,” EA Chief Executive John Riccitiello said on a conference call. “In (2008) we were No. 3 in this platform in North America and Europe but we need to move further up on the charts.”
