MANILA (AFP) — Japan's Fujitsu Ltd. announced plans on Wednesday to axe 1,750 jobs in the Philippines, blaming the global economic downturn. Workers have been offered early retirement packages to leave Fujitsu Computer Products Corp., which makes disk drives, said Ernesto Espinosa, a manager. "We launched a voluntary leaving programme and the reason for this is that because of the global recession," he told AFP.

IBM in talks to buy Sun Microsystems
| |
NEW YORK (Reuters) - IBM is in talks to buy Sun Microsystems Inc, sources with knowledge of the matter said, a move that could bolster the technology giant against rivals in the high-end computer server market. International Business Machines Corp is offering to pay at least $6.5 billion, or double Sun's Tuesday closing price of $4.97, The Wall Street Journal reported online earlier. Shares of Sun jumped 64 percent in pre-market trading to $8.16, while IBM shares fell 2 percent to $90.89.

March 18, 2009 -- The news broke this morning, March 18th, that IBM is talking to Sun about buying the company. Sources from both companies tell me that such a deal is in the works and it may be completed as early as this week. Sun's pricetag may be as high as $6.5-billion with a large part of the deal being made with IBM stock. Sources indicated that what IBM wants is Sun's software businesses, not its x86 and SPARC server lines.

Deloitte comments on the news that Fujitsu is offering
the world’s first colour E-Book Reader and its impact on publishers
Published: 18/3/09 -- Mark Lee-Amies, Deloitte Media Partner comments:
"Fujitsu’s announcement that they will be offering the world's first colour E-Book Reader for sale represents a significant development for publishers seeking to excite the market about digital books. Deloitte believes that it is in the arena of reference literature that digital books will most likely be a success. Here they bring a real tangible advantage to users: searchability and the ability to carry multiple reference texts around at once. This can bring real improvements in diagnosis and productivity for say the medical profession.

Meet the Cajun Crawler - A Segway Like Device With Legs
We've all heard of the Segway but what we all might not have heard about is the Cajun Crawler, a Segway-like personal transportation device with insect like legs. It looks a bit creepy, really cool, and it's a lot faster than one might think. This Segway competitor was created by some students from the University of Louisiana, hence the name "Cajun Crawler".
