Sony expects record $3 billion loss
|
|
Sony, the Japanese electronics company, said Thursday that it would post a record annual operating loss of nearly $3 billion because of the rapid deterioration of the global economy. It also announced a major restructuring that will include layoffs and factory closings.
"The massive economic upheaval being experienced across the world is sparing no one in the consumer electronics world," Howard Stringer, the Sony chief executive, said at a Webcast news conference in Tokyo.
Stringer said the main problem had been "a significant deterioration" in the company's core electronics division. But business worsened across every major line, including games, movies and financial services, even as competition from Apple's iPhone and Nintendo's Wii game console turned up the heat.

Intel to shut plants and eliminate 5,000 jobs
|
|
With demand for its chips drying up at record rates, Intel has decided to shut down several plants and dismiss thousands of workers.
Fresh off one of its worst quarters in the last 25 years, Intel, based in Santa Clara, California, told investors after the market's close on Wednesday that it would lay off at least 5,000 people.
The cuts result from the closing of three chip-testing facilities in Asia and halting operations at plants in Oregon and California. The closed facilities mostly used aging technology, and Intel will continue to invest billions of dollars this year in new plants, said Chuck Mulloy, an Intel spokesman.
As many as 6,000 people could be dismissed, depending on how many workers can secure jobs at other Intel plants. Intel employed 84,000 people at the end of last year, and had already eliminated 20,000 jobs in the last three years.

Intel Spring IDF News
|
|
I'm not sure why Intel are calling this IDF Spring, but anyway the news has been flowing from San Jose these past few days. Bit-tech have their first article on the show here, and other sites like hardwarezone, and hexus day 1 ,day 2, day 0, have coverage as well. Intel use IDF to launch their new technologies, and so it is no surprise to find a few Prescott reviews floating around the web today as well from; hardwareanalysis, Teamhardware, hardwarezone, accelenation, motherboards, and ohls-place. Motherboards also take the time to test out AMD's Athlon 64 3400+ CPU. In other news, Bit-tech play around with the Enermax Noisetaker 475W PSU while overclockercafe review the Albatron PX 875P Pro motherboard. Lastly, the boys at Extreme Overclocking have just posted a review on the Samsung SyncMaster 192T 19" LCD Flat Panel Display.
