I think cube should declare a quarterly dividend. Then I could get my grandmother to invest in it as a way to reduce the volatility of her utility portfolio. Has cube closed more than a quarter point up or down from 17 in the last 2 weeks? Oh what the hell, I better get back to watching the dust collect on my scroll lock key. Daniel

Samsung Electronics Mass Produces CD-ROM Drive Chip October 29, 1998 (SEOUL) -- Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. said it started commercial production of an advanced chip that controls a CD-ROM drive. The company said it can pump out the chips at a rate of 2 million units per month. The chip is a combination of a four-channel drive chip that runs the drive's motor and a spindle chip for maintaining the motor's steady speed. Samsung Electronics said it fully addressed interference and other glitch-causing problems that may occur when the two chips activate at the same time. These problems were the biggest barrier to the development of a combined chip, said a company official. "Our one-chip technology is something that many in the world are now trying to develop," the official noted. Beginning in November, Samsung said it will start exports of the chip to Japan and Taiwan, hoping to garner US$10 million in annual turnover. "Given its application in a digital video disc or mini disc player, the chip will bring us an advantage in the global drive chip market," the official said. The global drive chip market is worth US$100 million a year, with Japan controlling about 80 percent. (Maeil Business Newspaper, Korea) nikkeibp.asiabiztech.com
