MY COMMENT: After a series of “yes” and “no”, the
“marriage” is confirmed. According to the last news, Intel is buying Altera
Corp for $16.7 billion.
Everybody knows that
Intel is a semiconductor manufacturer with a long series of products and the
leader of the segment of microprocessors for PCs.
But what is Altera?
It is also a company of the semiconductor industry that makes programmable
logic devices (PLDs). It competes with Xilinx.
The merger between
Intel and Altera comes some days later of other “marriage”: Avago-Broadcom.
Both news plus other recent transactions show that the semiconductor industry
is consolidating in a fast movement. Today there is not room for everybody in
the semiconductor industry. 1 Recommendation 06/01/2015 11:08:01 AM
MY COMMENT: The death of a son or daughter is always
devastating for his/her parents. Personally, in that moment, I don’t think if
they are my friends or enemies or who they are… First at all, they are human
beings suffering a deep pain…
With this attitude,
in a humble way, I would like to express my condolence to Vice President Joe
Biden. I hope God will comfort him in this sad moment. 9 Recommendations 05/31/2015 11:15:00 AM
MY COMMENT: We can agree or disagree with the ideas of
the former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley but his profile is better than others.
Mr. O’Malley has
executive experience as Maryland governor, Baltimore mayor and a Baltimore city councilor. 1 Recommendation 05/31/2015 09:53:15 AM
MY COMMENT: The abandonment of Iraq was planned without think in the terrible
consequences of this decision. It prepared the ground for ISIS. 2 Recommendations 05/30/2015 06:00:14 PM
MY COMMENT: This story paints dramatic pictures of people
who leave their countries and take very hard risks because in their countries
are living in poverty, oppression and without any hope of future. 1

MY COMMENT: The fact that the United States removes Cuba officially from the State Sponsor of
Terrorism List does not clean the bloody hands of the Castro brothers and Che
Guevara for the crimes they committed for decades and for the support of
terrorism movements across Latin America
and Africa. 7 Recommendations 05/29/2015 02:46:41 PM
MY COMMENT: In the middle of the investigation of
bribery, the voting of Joseph “Sepp” Blatter for a fifth consecutive term
confirms that FIFA is the Kingdom of Corruption. All is rotten!!! 4 Recommendations 05/29/2015 02:27:11 PM
MY COMMENT: If the Americans want to live the same
mistakes of the past for eight more years, Hillary Clinton is the best option.
But if the Americans
want to enter into the future, Hillary Clinton is the worst option.
Despite all her
“cosmetic”, money and distinguished friends, Hillary is frustration and ego. 7 Recommendations 05/29/2015 01:41:09 AM
MY COMMENT: A new merger in the semiconductor industry!
Avago is acquiring Broadcom to become a strong semiconductor leader in wire and
wireless communications with a diversified package of products. 05/28/2015 02:58:25 PM
MY COMMENT: We cannot expect if Edward Snowden remains in
Moscow, he will be permanently in vacation visiting
museums and historic places to learn about the Russian culture.
It is not strange
that Mr. Putin is using his professional services directly or indirectly. 1

MY COMMENT: It is not easy to predict the future of the
relationships of Iran with the rest of the world.
Till now, despite
the flexibility of the western powers in the negotiations of the nuclear deal,
the Iranians did not show evidences that they will dismantle their
organizations that generate military conflicts and terrorist actions in the
Middle-East. 1 Recommendation 05/28/2015 02:14:47 PM
MY COMMENT: In the start of his second-term, Prime
Minister David Cameron launched a series of initiatives that probably will
create conflicts with other sectors despite his Parliamentary majority.
However, it is
interesting to remark the new legislation to put higher barrier to strike looks
like a necessary initiative. During the last times, across the European
countries, the unions are using the strikes in an abusive way.
Essential public
services, such as health and transport, cannot be blocked every time that
somebody in a union wants to fight for a new benefit. 2 Recommendations 05/28/2015 01:47:00 PM
MY COMMENT: It is obvious that the Islamic State is
pointing to take Baghdad. How to prevent its fall?
Only a strong
offensive of the Iraqi troops retaking Ramadi can save the fall of Baghdad. But this operation looks like impossible
mission with the low moral of the current military forces of the central
government. 1 Recommendation 05/27/2015 03:33:48 PM
MY COMMENT: The corruption is not new in FIFA. Probably,
all the international governing body from the No.1 are involved.
The cases of the
selection of Russia and Qatar for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups are recent samples of the corrupt
practices of International Federation of Association Football. 2

MY COMMENT: The news says: “Cameron and Juncker
Kick-Start U.K.’s Negotiations on EU Membership”. This is only a first step of
complicate negotiations. 05/26/2015 03:37:59 PM
MY COMMENT: After the Spanish regional elections, the
news says: “Spain’s growth numbers have impressed markets, but not voters.”
The “voters” are the
people of the street, the workers who lost their jobs, and the youngsters who
don’t find job....
The “voters” don’t
follow the financial curves and numbers that are prepared for the markets. The
‘voters” feel their own economic problems and the corruption of the government
institutions. 1 Recommendation 05/26/2015 03:23:21 PM
MY COMMENT: It is evident that the Chinese naval forces
continue expanding their operations because China wants to be the boss and sheriff of the
Asian seas. 05/26/2015 03:11:08 PM
MY COMMENT: The newspapers say: “Greece will make its next IMF payment.” This is the
best news from Greece in the last months. We have to hope that they really make the payment.
