MILPITAS, California, January 5 /PRNewswire/ --

California Micro Devices (Nasdaq: CAMD) has been awarded Electronic Products magazine's 2008 Product of the Year award for the CM1233-08DE, the first product to incorporate the innovative PicoGuard XS(TM) architecture. The CM1233-08DE is the industry's first product to provide both outstanding signal integrity and robust electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for high speed differential signals such as HDMI(TM) and DisplayPort. By integrating inductors with the ESD diodes, the CM1233-08DE provides matched differential impedance, eliminating the need for board designers to compensate for diode capacitance in their layouts.

During the 1990’s there was a lot of discussion (yelling?) over the question of whether or not Dinosaurs were endothermic, that is, warm blooded. In the regular media there is still a pretty solid leaning toward the idea that they were.


I’m inclined to say they weren’t. Here are two reasons why:

LONDON, January 5 /PRNewswire/ -- You are invited to the launch of 'ECO Drive', a national campaign by Ford Retail Group in partnership with the Energy Saving Trust to encourage eco driving amongst the British public. Either before or after the media briefing, journalists can take part in a 45 minute ECO Drive lesson. You will experience firsthand the effectiveness and ease in adopting 'green' driving techniques which will save you fuel and money as well as cut CO2 emissions.

A new way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and tackle climate change had been unveiled by a group of  economists.   Or an old way, depending on how long you have been around.   Under their proposals, companies would buy what are in effect permits to pollute, but the price of those permits would be controlled because the government would retain enough, at a fixed price, to stop the cost increasing above that level. 

Yes, it is price controls all over again.  Welcome to 1972.
