What we've come up with is a plan to support development that is sustainable and promotes a pedestrian environment.

That was great support. That was awesome. It was a great environment, so thanks, everyone, for coming.

The automotive environment is indeed a unique environment. What is commonplace in automotive, no consumer product can survive, so all our semiconductors must work over a broad range of temperature—typically from –40 to +125°C—and typically the devices are lower power and have stringent ESD/EMI requirements. If they get a failure in a car, it is nearly a catastrophe. Everything has to work in automotive. That puts a lot of constraints on an electrical system. They are not sloppy constraints either, because as you connect all the electronic components together, you get a lot of tolerance-stack issues that don't allow you to be very sloppy.

The semiconductor industry continues to show signs of improvement in a healthier global economic environment. As the market for computing, consumer communications and Internet-related products continues to grow, we believe Applied Materials, with our technology leadership and global infrastructure, will have an excellent opportunity to capitalize on this growth.

The increase in support for the Greens over the last two weeks since the election should be attributed to their high profile and critical role in determining which major party will gain government in New Zealand.

Recycling is one of our most effective tools to protect our environment. We are glad to support efforts to increase recycling in the Nogales community.
