Qualcomm, Broadcom plan to meet on February 14: sources

Qualcomm Inc and Broadcom Ltd plan to meet on Wednesday to talk about the latter’s $121 billion acquisition offer, the first time the semiconductor companies will discuss the potential deal, people familiar with the matter said.

The meeting comes after Broadcom raised its cash-and-stock offer last week from $70 to $82 per share, and made other concessions, including offering to pay Qualcomm an $8 billion breakup fee should antitrust regulators block the deal.

Gratistipset: Inspire Pro

Gratistipset: Inspire Pro

Ett rit- och målarprogram – din egen digitala canvas.

Gratis idag 12/9.

Available exclusively on the App Store, meticulously designed to be beautifully powerful and painstakingly engineered for the 64-bit CPU and multi-core GPU of iPad — Inspire Pro delivers an incredibly fast and realistic painting, drawing and sketching experience that you can take with you wherever you go and use whenever inspiration strikes.

Our proprietary painting engine Sorcery™, based on OpenGL, takes full advantage of the GPU to render brush strokes with brilliant 64-bit color, laser-sharp sub-pixel precision and insanely fast speed. While the strokes of a wet oil paint brush look beautiful on their own, the breathtaking blending effects of a dry brush will absolutely stun you. Graze the canvas with just a bit of pressure to add a subtle blur to your artwork or use stronger pressure to actually mix existing colors on the canvas together to create new ones.

With no instruction manual or handbook required, whether you are a beginner, expert or somewhere in-between, you will enjoy the simplicity and power of the most intuitive and compelling illustration app for iPad, Inspire Pro.

The verdict, from a Berlin regional court, comes as Big Tech faces increasing scrutiny in Germany over its handling of sensitive personal data that enables it to micro-target online advertising.

The Federation of German Consumer Organisations (vzvb) said that Facebook’s default settings and some of its terms of service were in breach of consumer law, and that the court had found parts of the consent to data usage to be invalid.

Bredbandsbolagets lösning – skarvsladd till Mathias garage

Ett eluttag i Mathias Halls garage i Väckelsång försörjer 15 villor i området med el till fiberbredband. Detta efter att Bredbandsbolaget driftsatt fibern i kvarteret utan att fixa en anslutning till elnätet.

Innan jul fick Mathias Hall och hans grannar i Väckelsång det glädjande beskedet att fiberbredbandet som de beställt var redo att driftsättas. Det efter en lång väntan på Bredbandsbolaget och deras underentreprenör, som försenade bredbandet ett halvår.
