Picatcha

On January 15, 2012, In Joomla, by Lobo

On December 21, 2011, In Apple, Gadgets, News, Technology, by lfhgjkd19

The rumor mill has been churning on this one for the last few days, but it’s now as official as it’s ever apt to get: Apple has decided to splash out the $500 million to buy Israeli flash-chip outfit Anobit . The fabless designer of MLC NAND flash chips should be a good fit, given Cupertino’s reliance on solid state storage technology for its iPad, iPod, iPhone and Macbook Air lines. With $84 billion in the bank, the purchase has cost the company just over half a percent of its war chest, and we’re guessing it’ll just barely feel the pinch when said funds are transferred over
