    Hmm. Pretty skimpy info there. The poster/blogger didn't even provide a link to the article he got the info from. :P

      Well, I think you're right, so I'd be glad if someone else could confirm this. Otherwise they're just trying to make us think they'd lower the prices which doesn't seem to be possible / credible at all...

        Google to the rescue.

        (EUbusiness) EU fines Samsung, nine other chip makers over cartel
        (BBC) Chipmakers fined by EU for price-fixing
        (ZDNet) Memory makers fined £284m for price fixing

        Just to link a few found.

          No notice of DOJ or SEC actions? Apparently price-fixing is now legal in the USA.
