I'm posting this before I go to class this morning: The Japanese Fair Trade Commission [1] has entered Intel's offices in Japan. No details have emerged yet as to WHY from the Commission, but it is suspected that the investigation has something to do with disturbances to other companies in the same industry. With the Intel Developer Forum Japan Spring 2004, plenty of American Intel officials are already heading to Japan. The JFTC has also issued a warning to Buffalo about a misleading speed posted on one of their MO drives. They have also issued a warning to manufacturers of wireless products, who claim things such as "54Mbps" for 802.11a/g products, but in reality, it is "impossible" to get these sorts of speeds. Update: There doesn't seem to be much else coming up about this for today, I guess it will have to wait until tomorrow. The word "antitrust" is coming up again... Here's the Reuters article [2].
