Optical disc drives being replaced by flash memory in computers?
November 4, 2009
PC makeover: slimmer profile, no DVD drive | www.mercurynews.com
Many PC makers are not including optical drives, especially for laptops and netbooks. Leaving out optical drives is being done not to reduce cost but to allow slimmer laptop and netbook computers. Flash memory with built in programs and entertainment content are now on the market in USB as well as memory card formats. Downloading content and applications has become more common, replacing one of the big uses for optical drives in computers. As flash memory $/GB declines and as write speeds for flash devices improve will these devices replace current optical disk physical distribution formats?

Rare earth metals ban by China could impact hard disk drive production
September 22, 2009
World faces hi-tech crunch as China eyes ban on rare metals exports | www.telegraph.co.uk
China has been the single largest supplier country for rare earth metals such as terbium, dysprosium, yttrium, thulium, lutetium, neodymium, europium, cerium and lanthanum. China is contemplating a ban of some of these metals and restrictions on supply on many others. Many vital technologies are dependent upon rare earth metals such as motors, hard disk drives, electronics and illumination. There are deposits of rare earth ores in the North America, South Africa, and Australia but it may take years to bring these online.

Dell to buy Perot Systems for $3.9 billion | money.cnn.com
Dell, buying into the notion that hardware is now a commodity and they have already optimized that business, believes they need to diversify. So they buy a large business/technology consulting firm. Do they now bring any more value to the Perot business?
