There are a couple of things that have transpired in the computer industry in the last month that I believe are worthwhile to note.   First, a typhoon caused massive flooding to parts of Thailand at the end of August.   This flooding has covered about one-third of Thailand’s surface area.  What does this have to do with technology you ask?  The flooding has had serious impact on the countries manufacturing business, notably the manufacturing of computer hard drives.
