Review: This article is so full of fluff and erroneous, misleading statements that it borders on violating SEC rules. Why no mention of the subsidy investigations against Hynix in the U.S., Europe and Japan that have resulted in countervailing duties of up to 45%, and that should make it virtually impossible for Hynix to sell in those economies? Why no mention of the federal and state antitrust investigations and lawsuits against Hynix in the U.S.? Why no mention of the patent infringement lawsuits that Hynix fails to disclose in its financials, but that represent contingent liability of up to $8 billion? Why no mention of ongoing criminal and civil investigations into Hynix's evasion of antidumping and countervailing duties in the U.S.?

Review: Why no mention in this article about Hynix's admitted felonious and illegal business practices of stealing IP from others to be able to show such good numbers? Shame on you, BW. You should know better!

Review: "Hynix operates in one of the most cutthroat businesses imaginable..."
Yes, and Hynix has assuredly cut as many throats as Pol Pot or Stalin. Great folks!!

Review: A very fine and very human tale from the Land of the Morning Calm. Koreans have made such individual efforts many times, as little memory will show. Congratulations, and thank you.

Review: What a garbage article. You did once mention the company's bailout money from the government. Any other company would be belly up but for the Korean government. Imagine where Micron would be if their two billion in losses in the past decade had been covered by Uncle Sam.

Review: Micron was a high tech company long ago, today they are a mercantile company who cannot compete in a global marketplace. The reason is that they went from embracing innovation to viewing it as a defensive mechanism. Their predatory conduct has sent a clear message to inventors that they should deal with other companies. As a founding member of the Coalition for Patent Fairness, aka. the Coalition for Patent Piracy they have demonstrated they no no shame.
If America is to continue to prosper we must stop companies like Micron from preying on our inventors and give their young companies a chance to grow and become the next great company.
