For media and analysts, events kickoff on Sunday afternoon with the "CES Unveiled" Preview. The EE Daily News will be there for exhausting day of the show. With an attendance on the order of 100,000.. this isn't a show like and other trade show, it's a crazy frenzied mob scene from start to finish. This is not the kind of event where you can just walk in and roam the show floor...<br/> <br/> Read more at the EE Daily News... <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hgQHsZXY_N9M4itmnElik7KuZfU/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hgQHsZXY_N9M4itmnElik7KuZfU/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hgQHsZXY_N9M4itmnElik7KuZfU/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hgQHsZXY_N9M4itmnElik7KuZfU/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWorldIsAnalog?a=FM3BUUauBS0:QUTLsA73VNg:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWorldIsAnalog?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWorldIsAnalog?a=FM3BUUauBS0:QUTLsA73VNg:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWorldIsAnalog?i=FM3BUUauBS0:QUTLsA73VNg:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWorldIsAnalog?a=FM3BUUauBS0:QUTLsA73VNg:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWorldIsAnalog?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWorldIsAnalog?a=FM3BUUauBS0:QUTLsA73VNg:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWorldIsAnalog?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheWorldIsAnalog/~4/FM3BUUauBS0" height="1" width="1"/>Mike Demlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01609630249488100984noreply@blogger.com0http://www.eedailynews.com/2012/01/ee-daily-news-at-international-consumer.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178947916580376471.post-92055585495482517532012-01-05T22:06:00.000-08:002012-01-06T14:56:36.000-08:002012-01-06T14:56:36.000-08:00Last year, the biggest news in the EDA industry broke on November 30th, when Magma announced that they had agreed to be acquired by Synopsys for $507M - equivalent to $7.35 per share. Thanks to SEC disclosure requirements for publicly traded companies, we now know that discussions started much earlier, on February 2, 2011, and that it was Synopsys that initially approached Magma. The details of the negotiations in Magma's preliminary proxy statement provide an intriguing behind the scenes...<br/> <br/> Read more at the EE Daily News... <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/nfYXtA8MXTQn3AjrgaX6oPfetiI/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/nfYXtA8MXTQn3AjrgaX6oPfetiI/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/nfYXtA8MXTQn3AjrgaX6oPfetiI/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/nfYXtA8MXTQn3AjrgaX6oPfetiI/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWorldIsAnalog?a=7z8YfBf1_7I:32j6jygH31k:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWorldIsAnalog?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWorldIsAnalog?a=7z8YfBf1_7I:32j6jygH31k:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWorldIsAnalog?i=7z8YfBf1_7I:32j6jygH31k:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWorldIsAnalog?a=7z8YfBf1_7I:32j6jygH31k:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWorldIsAnalog?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWorldIsAnalog?a=7z8YfBf1_7I:32j6jygH31k:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWorldIsAnalog?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheWorldIsAnalog/~4/7z8YfBf1_7I" height="1" width="1"/>Mike Demlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01609630249488100984noreply@blogger.com0http://www.eedailynews.com/2012/01/magma-details-shotgun-marriage-to.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178947916580376471.post-40396103867279551912011-12-30T15:12:00.000-08:002011-12-30T15:14:10.098-08:002011-12-30T15:14:10.098-08:00I first heard of the Spin Clean Record Cleaner when Michael Fremer reviewed it for Sterophile Magazine, in February 2010.
