SEMI keeps a database of this (which you have to pay to access, although they soeitmes put out press releases with highlights). See my Breakfast Bytes post
How Many New Fabs Are Under Construction? Ask Christian Dieseldorff...
The EPA has caught Volkswagen spoofing the clean air compliance by making the engine control unit detect when it is being tested for compliance (by noticing that the steering wheel is not moving, for example) and then being compliant, while delivering more torque and acceleration and pollution...
As reported last week in the forum, Intel is (short sightedly in my mind) stopping their sponsorship of science talent search.
But here are two girls aged 10 and 8 sending a balloon to the edge of space with two GoPRo cameras (that seem to have been provided by GoPro so at least someone is...
This week's Economist contains their Technology Quarterly, which contains a piece on Moore's Law. Some of it seems to have been written by Intel but in the end it does get to the point that 28nm is the lowest cost per transistor and since then it has been going up. But it doesn't mention double...
From the press release:
On an 8% increase in revenue, GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses grew less than 1.5% year on year. Second quarter revenue exceeded guidance by 12% while non-GAAP EPS was up over 150% versus guidance. Cash flow, another important metric, was...
Hackers Remotely Kill a Jeep on the Highway—With Me in It
I was driving 70 mph on the edge of downtown St. Louis when the exploit began to take hold.
Though I hadn’t touched the dashboard, the vents in the Jeep Cherokee started blasting cold air at the maximum setting, chilling the sweat on...
I just checked on Alexa to make sure Google was still ahead of Facebook before I posted in another thread. I thought people might be interested to know the top 10 Alexa sites, the most visited sites on the net:
Google
Facebook
YouTube (treated separately from Google it seems)
Yahoo

According to Cannacord Genuity, Apple is now making 93% of all the profit in the smartphone industry. Samsung's share is down to 9%. Let me see, 93% + 9% = 102% so the rest of the industry, in aggregate, is losing money. That is not to say that everyone is losing money, for example Sony was...
TSMC's stock has been depressed recently since people seem to think that Apple doing well is bad for TSMC since it is bad for Qualcomm. I don't get it. Firstly, TSMC build the application processor, so there is nothing but upside there. And Qualcomm build the modem so there is nothing but upside...

I talked about Sebastian Thrum recently when he gave the keynote at SNUG. Among is other accomplishments he is the founder of Udemy. Some of their courses are quite expensive (iOS developer is $495 for example). But for the next day or two all the most popular courses, including that one, are...
Every year, Wright Williams & Kelly, Inc. (WWK) conducts a survey on equipment and timing of various features in the semiconductor industry. The results from last year's survey cover what features survey respondents expected to be in production use this year, 2012:

Today's Google Doodle highlights that Robert Noyce, who died in 1990, would have been 84 today. Noyce, at Fairchild (and then Intel) along with Kilby (at TI) are generally credited with the invention of the integrated circuit, without which we wouldn't be reading this, or working in the...
Apple just announced that Steve Jobs has died. There will be lots of tributes in the days to come, but any way you look at what he achieved it is amazing. Not just founding Apple in the first place, but then buying what became Pixar, the most successful animation company ever. And then...
