2 - What's New @ Fujitsu: Web page updates from Fujitsu
- Fujitsu gives back to the community: Fujitsu Jazz Festival
Fujitsu understands the importance of being a good neighbor, and donates its time, money, and resources to the community and neighboring areas. The variety of Fujitsu-sponsored activities range from the scientific to the educational to the cultural. Read on for more information about the ways Fujitsu gives back.
Fujitsu Jazz Festival
Fujitsu and jazz have long been synonymous in the Bay Area. Starting in the early 1990's, Fujitsu became the primary sponsor for the Fujitsu-Concord Jazz Festival, featuring the top names in jazz from around the globe. Concord, California, was renowned for its world-class jazz festivals starting in the late 1960's. (In fact, the Concord Pavilion became known as "the house that jazz built".) Since Fujitsu was already well known for sponsoring jazz festivals in Japan and other countries, they were a perfect match to partner with Concord. Among those who performed at past Fujitsu-Concord Jazz Festivals were Tony Bennett, Charlie Byrd, Rosemary Clooney, Jimmy Smith, Tom Scott, Ray Brown, George Shearing, Joe Williams, Ernestine Anderson, and Dorothy Donegan, Although the Fujitsu-Concord relationship ended around 2004, Fujitsu continues the tradition with a series of Fujitsu-sponsored jazz events throughout the area.

Rudd, whose government has guaranteed the deposits and wholesale funding of Australia's banks, said he and the Treasurer, Wayne Swan, had recently expressed their concern in talks with local bank executives about high fees and charges.

- Green IT looking pale at CeBIT
March 5th, 2009 David Fearon -- One of the primary themes of CeBIT this year was supposed to be Green IT. Interest in the subject is “overwhelming” according to the CeBIT website. And indeed there’s an entire hall dedicated to it this year, albeit one of the smaller ones. But still hall 8 - “Green IT World” - is sparsely occupied. The subdued ambience is a long way from the heaving mass of bodies in hall 21, where the likes of MSI and Gigabyte are showing off their shiny stuff amid loud music and pneumatic young ladies wearing shirts which appear, very regrettably, to have shrunk in the wash.

- FT.com- Taiwan restructures its D-Ram chip industry
By Robin Kwong in Taipei: March 5 2009 -- Taiwan on Thursday unveiled a long-awaited plan to restructure the country’s struggling D-Ram chip industry, announcing a new government-backed company to buy key technology from foreign competitors and consolidate the domestic market. The new initiative has the potential to transform the global memory chip industry by allying Taiwan’s large production base with technology from either Japan or the US, which would pose a threat to South Korea’s Samsung, the world’s biggest D-Ram maker. The new company, named Taiwan Memory Company, will seek to invest in either Elpida of Japan or Micron of the US within the three months, in exchange for D-Ram patents and technologies, said John Hsuan, who has been appointed chairman of TMC.

- Self-encrypting drive standard gains momentum
March 4, 2009 by Jon Oltsik -- I've long been a big proponent of self-encrypting drives as the best way to encrypt data-at-rest on PCs and storage systems. This belief became a lot more real in January when the Trusted Computing Group published three storage encryption standards for laptops, enterprise storage, and software interoperability. Fujitsu, Hitachi, Seagate, and Toshiba support these standards and are already shipping self-encrypting drives. In February, IBM joined the fray, further validating the self-encrypting drive standard. IBM announced that its massive DS8000 storage system will now offer self-encrypting drives to protect the confidentiality and integrity of data-at-rest. LSI, another leading storage system vendor, is also on board.

- Australian bank fees 22 per cent higher than UK
March 06, 2009 -- BANK customers in Australia pay the western world's highest banking fees, a new report says, and the opposition claims the government's doing nothing about it. Australians cop fees that are 22 per cent higher than those paid by Britons, and 11 per cent higher than what Americans pay, says the report released yesterday. The opposition says the federal government has failed to pressure banks to drop their charges.
...Report author Fujitsu Consulting said average Australian households paid about $1,000 in bank fees each year, compared to $749 in Britain and $850 in the United States.

- Linux Foundation Takes Over Hosting Of Linux.com
By Charles Babcock, InformationWeek - March 4, 2009 -- The site will continue the old discussion and forum topics previously found on SourceForge and will showcase information for business users of Linux. The Linux Foundation, funded by an alliance of vendors dedicated to Linux growth, has taken over www.Linux.com, a site formerly hosted on SourceForge.net, home to thousands of open source projects. The move will extend the site's scope beyond supplying forums on common Linux topics, such as discussions on distributions or "getting started." It will be a place where visitors can find a richer array of Linux resources, expertise, and ways to collaborate.
- Silicon Valley unemployment rate jumps to 9.4 percent
By Pete Carey - Mercury News -- Silicon Valley's unemployment rate jumped more than a full point, to 9.4 percent, from December to January, the biggest jump since at least 1990, the earliest year for which the state Employment Development Department has comparable data. Silicon Valley Leadership Group CEO Carl Guardino said he worried worse was to come: "If the January unemployment numbers resemble a horror movie, then I fear the sequels that will be released in February and March, as they will probably be even more frightening."

Russia already has some "basic, key elements" of such weapons, he said without elaboration.
