Afternoon tech news: IBM is opening a new 140,000-square-foot chip foundry to forge chips for other companies using 300-millimeter wafers and silicon on insulator technology. America Online released a preview version of its upcoming AOL 8.0 service (currently for Windows), which features Google search technology; Dell may be hitting the efficiency wall and may not be able to "cut much more fat from its operation," on the heels of manufacturing improvements at HP, which "will likely erode the Dell's comparative cost advantage."

Hey Apple, lookee here!
So IBM needs to run at high capacity to pay for the new foundry? So Motorola is moving away from desktop PC CPU chip development? So Apple needs newer faster chips? Connect the dots?
