For those who might own tech stocks, and not that this is entirely unexpected but still bad news, Spansion (world's largest NOR memory) filed for bankrupcy yesterday. Of coarse, a month ago, Qimonda (second largest DRAM producer) filed for bankrupcy a month ago, and Micron (DRAM, SDRAM, flash memory) has been burning through cash, but have quite a war chest reserved and have been buying up some competition as the memory market has been flooded although they did close their fab in Boise.

Semiconductors still taking a beating - one of the industries that as far as design houses go, is one of "America's industries."
