台中一名高二學生，上實習課時玩手機遊戲神魔之塔，被高三導師沒收後，交給班上學生，刪光手機內稀有封印卡片，將近一百七十多張，價值一萬多元，刪卡牌影片PO上網瘋傳，網友大抱不平，律師說老師和刪卡片的同學的行為，可能觸犯刑法，最重可處五年徒刑或罰款20萬，手機遊戲的商業模式，讓學生沉迷，花時間也掏出鈔票。

刪卡片學生：「奧丁啦，耶。」

高三學生刪除手機線上遊戲卡，唸出來的卡牌名字，都是超級稀有，有的甚至已經絕版，大家越刪越嗨。刪卡片學生：「1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、10，好爽、好爽。」

手機裡170多張卡片，包括非常稀有的「萬魔之王」、「日狼」、「白金卡」等，通通被刪個精光，損失至少1萬多元，要練功100小時才有辦法取得，影片起因，是台中1名高二學生，上實習課時，偷玩手機線上遊戲「神魔之塔」，被高三導師沒收，老師交給班上學生刪除，影片被其他同學PO網。

台中嶺東高中學務主任李紹紀：「學長跟老師說不要讓他玩的話，就把遊戲刪除，老師也不知道遊戲是什麼貴重的東西。」

刪卡片，觸犯刑法妨害電腦罪，最重可處5年以下徒刑或罰20萬元，學校表示，被害學生家長知道情況，認為上課本來就不應該玩手機，不會對老師和學生提告。

手機遊戲，讓玩家沉迷，不僅願意掏出大筆鈔票，購買道具，也投入大量時間，在遊戲上。台中科大多媒體設計系主任蔡子瑋：「會去追求頂級裝備，在遊戲的過程中，產生一些社交的關係，這是吸引他們的一個主要原因。」

熱門手機遊戲，像是LINE公司，今年營收44億台幣，手機遊戲就占了6成，將近30億，遊戲讓玩家沉迷，在同儕間造成競爭和討論，玩家比輸贏、比排名，遊戲公司推出付費商品，讓願意花錢的玩家，有更多稀有道具或卡片，公司也因而獲利。

Broadcom's shares plunge 15% on concerns about prospects July,24 2013

Broadcom's shares plunge 15% on concerns about prospects

Investors are worried that smartphones and tablets will be increasingly outfitted with chips made by Broadcom's rivals.

July 24, 2013|By Paresh Dave

 

Shares of Irvine chip maker Broadcom Corp. plunged to their lowest price in three years as investors worried that smartphones and tablets will be increasingly outfitted with wireless chips made by rivals.

Nearly all Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy users who connect to a Wi-Fi network or turn on Bluetooth are able to do so because of a Broadcom wireless networking chip that costs about $5 a phone. A third of Broadcom's business comes from those two device makers.

 

 

But in recent weeks, analyst reports related to Samsung and Apple have suggested that the number of first-time buyers of smartphones is slowing. Both companies have also made moves signaling an interest in making their own chips.

On Tuesday, Broadcom reported lackluster quarterly results for its wireless chip unit and estimated that revenue would be stagnant in the current quarter. The other half of Broadcom's business — broadband, television and networking equipment — surged about 12% quarter-over-quarter in the period ended June 30, Broadcom reported. But analysts said that wasn't enough to assuage investors' anxiety over the company's prospects.

"Just these ideas and the fact that Broadcom has been primarily been driven by wireless connectivity is significant," said Tristan Gerra, semiconductor analyst at Robert W. Baird & Co. "Market share is going down instead of going up."

Broadcom shares slipped $4.82, or 15.1%, to $27.01 on Wednesday, the biggest drop since October 2007, according to Bloomberg. The decline prompted analysts to raise the possibility of the company cutting costs or spinning off units to pump up the stock.

"The quarter was weak, but the market may be overreacting to concerns about their competitive positioning," said Romit Shah, managing director and senior analyst at Nomura Securities.

Yet the analysis firm Chipworks recently reported that one variant of the new Galaxy S 4 Mini uses a Qualcomm Inc. chip instead of one from Broadcom, which has typically been the chip maker of choice for Samsung.

Broadcom Chief Executive Scott McGregor rebuffed the mounting concerns in a call with analysts Tuesday, saying the company's market share would be stable.

"A lot of these reports have made a big deal of the [contracts] we don't win, but they fail to point out the ones that used to be our competitor that we are winning," he said. "And so we're gaining share in some of the customers other than the one that some of those reports have pointed out."

Broadcom also makes the so-called baseband chips that connects devices to cellular networks. But it's at least another year away from delivering significant revenue from a chip capable of connecting to the newer 4G LTE networks.

In terms of worldwide sales, Qualcomm holds 52% of the baseband market and has more than 75% of the LTE market, according to research firm Strategy Analytics. Broadcom's numbers: 5% and nonexistent. The effect of falling behind started to show this week.

Cowen and Co. analyst Timothy Arcuri pointed to a nearly 40% decline in the last year in sales of cheaper, older 3G chips.

"That's an incredible decline," he said. "Usually, you think maybe 10%."

McGregor acknowledged on the call that the company doesn't have many 3G customers because many smartphones have transitioned to the faster 4G service.

Broadcom may have to pull out of the cellular-chip business, said Cody Acree, Williams Financial Group's director of equity research.

"Does it make sense to spend this kind of capital to fight this volatility?" he said of the hundreds of millions Broadcom has spent on LTE research.

To add to the concerns, Shah said it has been "more or less confirmed" that Apple has purchased chip technology from Texas Instruments, which recently dropped out of that market. It's unclear what Apple plans to do with the purchase.

"This could be something that just helps improve their other services," Shah said. "They might just be getting some technology that would help them improve their inferior Maps product."

A year ago, Samsung bought British chip maker CSR and analysts remain worried that Samsung could slowly move some chip-making in-house.

Still, some analysts see potential in Broadcom. Its high-end chips could soon power upcoming devices such as Apple's rumored iWatch or other "wearable" computers.

"Apple and Samsung over the next couple of years will proliferate the number of the devices they're selling to bigger-size phones, wearable devices and mid-range phones," Shah said. "For Broadcom to sustain growth, it has to be driven by new product categories, like wearables, and improved traction in the baseband business."

Broadcom announces job cuts, weaker sales forecast

http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-broadcom-layoffs-20131022,0,4395560.story#axzz2lCX8arU9

 

Bloomberg News

October 22, 2013, 6:44 p.m.

Broadcom Corp. said it is cutting as many as 1,150 jobs and forecast fourth-quarter revenue below analysts' estimates as demand slows for its chips that connect mobile phones to the Internet.

The Irvine company's shares fell as much as 8.6% in late trading. Sales will be about $1.98 billion, plus or minus 3%, the company said Tuesday. That indicates revenue of $1.92 billion to $2.03 billion, while analysts on average had predicted $2.13 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

While Broadcom dominates the market for chips that provide short-distance wireless connections in devices such as Apple Inc.'s iPhone and iPad, its struggle to roll out new cellular technologies has hurt its ability to grab more orders in smartphones. The lack of a chip that supports LTE, or long-term evolution, may tempt customers to switch to rivals, said Alex Gauna, an analyst at JMP Securities in San Francisco.

"Right now they're losing market share, but it's not a cliff," Gauna said. "What's very clear now is that what the market wants is a road map to LTE."

Broadcom shares slid as low as $24.80 in extended trading after the announcement, after closing down 18 cents at $27.14. That left them down 18% this year.

The company is eliminating employees to pare expenses, with a third of the reductions coming among workers gained with its acquisition of a Renesas Electronics Corp. business unit. Broadcom had a staff of 11,300 at the end of 2012, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Some of Broadcom's 3G-chip customers are cutting inventory, and the company is facing "ferocious" price competition for that product, Chief Executive Scott McGregor said.

Broadcom also needs to field LTE modems to help it regain some connectivity business because some phone makers, particularly those building cheaper handsets for markets such as China, prefer to buy both chips from the same provider, he said.

"Long term, I believe this business is pretty vibrant," McGregor said.

Third-quarter net income rose 44% to $316 million, or 55 cents a share, from $220 million, or 38 cents, a year earlier, Broadcom said. Sales were little changed at $2.15 billion. Excluding certain items, profit was 76 cents. On that basis, analysts had predicted profit of 68 cents and sales of $2.13 billion.

McGregor is moving Broadcom into the market for baseband chips used to connect phones to cellular networks, a business dominated by Qualcomm Inc. This month, Broadcom said it bought LTE-related capabilities from Japanese chip maker Renesas, a move that some analysts took as an admission that the company's in-house efforts to develop that technology had fallen behind schedule.

Broadcom and Intel pose challenges to Qualcomm in mobile baseband processor chipset market

http://www.telecomlead.com/telecom-chips/broadcom-and-intel-pose-challenges-to-qualcomm-in-mobile-baseband-processor-chipset-market-28886/

5/1/2013

Telecom Lead India: Broadcom and Intel will pose significant challenges to Qualcomm in the mobile baseband processor chipset market over the next few years.

ABI Research says the chip major Qualcomm is dominating LTE chipset sales with over two-thirds of shipments in 2012.

Though established mobile baseband processor chipset vendors will remain key players as the shift towards LTE continues, some of the smaller LTE baseband vendors will grab a part of the LTE chipset market.

ABI Research predicted that the size of the LTE chipset market will grow to well over 850 million shipments in 2018 for handsets alone.

“We expect Broadcom and Intel to be significant challengers to Qualcomm over the next few years,” said research director Philip Solis.

4 vendors are focusing on various features, while another 4 are offering integrated platforms; and 4 are offering carrier aggregation now.

12 vendors offer 23 products supporting Category 3, and five offer ten products supporting Category 4. There are no Category 5 products on the market yet, which would have a more limited potential since they require 4X4 MIMO. 9 vendors have LTE baseband products supporting TD-SCDMA to target China.

Different levels of integration and standalone components will be required for some time because of the timing of various technology shifts across the different components. Combined with the single-mode LTE opportunity for non-handset mobile devices and the wider Internet of Everything in the near term and even handsets in the long term, single-mode LTE baseband vendors have an opportunity.

Altair, GCT, Innofidei, Leadcore, and Sequans offer single-mode LTE chipsets.

ABI Research says larger vendors will offer single-mode LTE products, but only after the opportunity for those products becomes much more sizable.

According to a report by IHS in February 2013, the competitive landscape of the cellphone core integrated circuit (IC) business has completely transformed over the past five years, with Qualcomm and Samsung capitalizing on the rise of smartphones and 4G.

IHS analyst for consumer & communications Brad Shaffer said recently: “As smartphones and LTE have gained popularity, the corresponding influences from both forces have created paradigm shifts that transformed competition in the mobile handset core IC market.”

Meanwhile, Strategy Analytics in a November 2012 report said that  Qualcomm, MediaTek, Intel, Broadcom and ST-Ericsson captured top-five revenue share rankings in the cellular baseband processor market in H1 2012.

The report says Qualcomm led the cellular baseband market with 51 percent revenue share in the first half of 2012 on the strength of its leading position in CDMA, W-CDMA and LTE basebands. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processor momentum has significantly helped. Qualcomm’s LTE basebands have been adopted by almost all top-tier handset manufacturers.

MediaTek ranked number two with 12.8 percent revenue share in the cellular baseband market in 1H 2012 with the help of its strong 3G smartphone processor shipments. MediaTek made a significant progress in 3G basebands in H1 2012.

Intel grabbed the number three spot with 12.1 percent revenue share in the cellular baseband market in H1 2012 as the company’s strong 2G baseband shipments significantly helped during the quarter. Intel also did well in the 3G baseband market and ranked number two in the W-CDMA baseband market in H1 2012.

Strategy Analytics believes Intel’s upcoming first LTE baseband platform, XMM7060, has the potential to cut into Qualcomm’s LTE baseband lead in future.

Dubai Air Show: Boeing leads order books race 11/17/2013

Airlines in the Gulf have placed a number of high value plane orders on the first day of the Dubai Air Show, with US giant Boeing a major winner.

Dubai-based Emirates airline placed an order for 150 of Boeing's new 777 mini-jumbos, in a $76bn (£47bn) deal.

Other orders from Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways and Lufthansa for some 109 of the new 777, previously codenamed 777X, brought its sales total to $95bn.

Emirates has also ordered 50 Airbus A380s, in a deal worth $23bn.

The airline is already the biggest customer of the A380 and the new deal will bring its total orders for the plane to 140.

And local rival Etihad Airways has also announced a firm order for 87 Airbus aircraft - some 50 A350 XWBs, 36 A320neo aircraft and one A330-200F as part of its fleet modernization strategy.

The deal - valued at $19bn - includes options for 30 more planes.
'Astounding'
Boeing said its 777 mini-jumbo sales represented "the largest product launch in commercial jetliner history by dollar value".

"The response to the 777X has been astounding," Boeing chairman James McNerney added at the official launch the new plane in Dubai.

The 777 will come in two models, one seating 350 passengers, and another seating 406 people.

Boeing's new aircraft is designed to compete with the largest version of Airbus's A350 in the mini-jumbo market.

European rival Airbus has launched a campaign for a minimum standard seat width of 18 inches on long trips, as it seeks to draw the focus of airlines to what it says will be the 777's narrower seats.

Meanwhile, Airbus will be looking to sell more of its A380 super-jumbo aircraft, the world's biggest passenger aircraft, which is facing a potential cut in production unless some more orders are secured.

UK Prime Minister David Cameron has visited the airshow site, with the UK competing with France for a potential 60-plane fighter jet deal with the United Arab Emirates.

At Dubai Airshow, Boeing Scores Huge $130B Payday

Its 777X appears to be big winner, with at least 225 orders

By the Associated Press

Posted Nov 17, 2013 6:11 AM CST

(AP) – Boeing Co.'s planned 777X long-haul airliner grabbed the bulk of orders today at the first day of the Dubai Airshow, with at least 225 planes on the books in an eye-popping display of the spending power and aggressive expansion efforts of Gulf carriers. In total, Boeing says that it netted at least 367 orders in deals believed to exceed $130 billion at the Middle East's premier aviation fair. Boeing CEO James McNerney Jr. called it part of the "largest commercial launch in aviation history" for a planned aircraft: the bigger and more fuel-efficient model of the company's popular 777 wide-body.

European rival Airbus opened the five-day airshow by announcing a $23 billion order for 50 A380s—its main competition for the 777X—by Dubai-based Emirates. This year's airshow appears on track to surpass the record $155 billion in deals in the 2007 event before the global economic downturn. Boeing received orders for 150 777X planes from Emirates, 50 from Qatar Airways and 25 from Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways; it also inked deals with Etihad for 30 of its 787-10 Dreamliners and one cargo plane, and with budget carrier flydubai for 111 of its single-aisle 737 models. Boeing is still finalizing plans for the 777X—aiming to deliver the first aircraft by the end of the decade—but it has said it is expected to carry as many as 400 passengers and to be 20% more fuel efficient than the current 777.

波灣航空闊綽 千億購波音777

中央社 (2013-11-17 20:57)

（中央社杜拜17日綜合外電報導）波斯灣各國航空公司出手大方，今天在杜拜航空展首日就下了1000多億美元訂單，購買總計259架波音777長程客機，對手空中巴士A380超級巨無霸客機也有斬獲。

阿酋航空（Emirates Airlines）今天訂購150架波音（Boeing）777長程噴射客機，照報價計算的總價約760億美元。阿酋航空也訂購了50架空中巴士（Airbus）A380巨型客機，總價230億美元。

法新社報導，阿布達比（Abu Dhabi）的聯合航空公司（Etihad Airways）今天訂購56架波音（Boeing）客機，包括25架波音777X長程噴射客機。

聯合航空公司執行長霍根（James Hogan）在杜拜航空展的記者會上說，這筆訂單總價252億美元，包括可再購26架客機的優先選擇權。

美聯社報導，這筆訂單還包括30架波音787-10夢幻客機（Dreamliner），這為近來因電池問題而遭打擊的夢幻客機提振了士氣。

路透社報導，加上聯合航空公司和卡達航空（Qatar Airways）的需求，波音公司宣布，新型波音777客機共售出259架，根據報價計算的總價約1000億美元，這是歷來聯合訂單中最大一筆。新型波音777長程客機，之前稱為波音777X。

新型波音777客機有兩款，350座的波音777-8將會是世界航程最遠的噴射客機。較大型406座的波音777-9會是主流機型，將於2020年開始交機。

波音董事長麥納尼（James McNerney）在人潮洶湧的新型波音777客機推出記者會上說：「對波音777X的反應令人震驚。」杜拜元首穆罕默德（Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum）也出席記者會。

波斯灣處於東方與西方間的戰略位置，區內各國航空公司在載客量上競爭激烈，由於受衰退影響的歐洲航空公司資金受限，對波音和空中巴士來說波斯灣的生意日益重要。

業界一位高層消息人士不願具名說：「空中巴士竭力緩和波音777X造成的衝擊。」

在今天之前，空中巴士A380客機今年沒賣出半架，空中巴士銷售長雷希（John Leahy）承受重振銷售壓力。除非2015年閒置的生產線收到訂單，恐怕得要考慮減少產能。

阿酋航空今天再訂了50架A380，使其訂購總數達到140架。在此之前，阿酋航空就已經是A380最大客戶。

代表美國航空公司機師的團體警告，銷售數百架客機給與美國航空公司競爭的波斯灣航空公司，將對「美國經濟和美國航空公司員工造成嚴重後果」。這會對美國航空業帶來激烈競爭。

食藥署證實西國4年前示警假油

中央社 – 2013年11月13日 下午12:19

（中央社記者陳清芳台北13日電）衛福部食藥署長葉明功今天證實，西班牙4年前即示警衛生署橄欖油有假，但是當時檢驗能力不足，僅輔導改善標示。

5日才接掌衛生福利部食品藥物管理署新上任署長葉明功說，上午緊急清查歷年公文，證實西班牙駐台辦事處確實在2009、2011年兩度來文，提出調查報告並點名泰山、福壽的進口西班牙橄欖油可疑。

葉明功說，相關文件由時任食品衛生處長（現任新北市衛生局長）林雪蓉蓋章決行，當時查核泰山和福壽確實是西班牙進口、台灣分裝橄欖油，責成地方衛生局輔導業者改善產地標示，處理結果回函西班牙駐台辦事處，並未怠惰。

葉明功表示，以當時的油品脂肪酸組成比例檢驗技術，沒有辦法查清楚。

壹週刊報導指出，西班牙2009年、2011年兩度行文衛生署（現改制為衛生福利部），台灣代理商慣用低等級的花生油、葵花籽油、椰子油等，與少量橄欖渣混合，卻裝瓶標示100%初榨橄欖油，並點名泰山、福壽的西班牙橄欖油可疑。

Hinkley nuclear power station gets go-ahead as coalition signs off EDF deal

Building to commence on Britain's first nuclear power station in 20 years as government hands subsidy to French company

Britain is to embark on building its first nuclear power station for two decades on Monday as the coalition hands a multibillion subsidy to France's EDF with help from a state-owned Chinese firm.

The two planned pressurised water reactors at Hinkley Point C, Somerset, are the first to start construction in Europe since Japan's Fukushima disaster and the first in the UK since the Sizewell B power station came online in 1995.

The new reactors, which will cost £14bn, are due to start operating in 2023 if constructed on time and will run for 35 years.

(ref *a semiconductor fab spends 10bn/yr with 5bn/yr return ,nuk plant effectively 26bn/10yrs ~0.26X cost if with good return)

 They will be capable of producing 7% of the UK's electricity – equivalent to the amount used by 5m homes.

After months of delay, the news came as the coalition has come under intense pressure over rising electricity bills. British Gas and SSE have both announced price rises for customers of close to 10% and Ed Miliband's promise to freeze energy bills has struck a chord with voters. There are expected to be further rises announced by the big six energy companies this week.

Over the weekend the archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, waded into the row over energy prices, warning that the latest wave of hikes looks inexplicable. Welby, a former oil executive, insisted the big six energy companies had an obligation to behave morally rather than just maximising profit.

"They have control because they sell something everyone has to buy. We have no choice about buying it," he told the Mail on Sunday. "With that amount of power comes huge responsibility to serve society."

The guaranteed subsidies promised by the government for Hinkley Point C will lead to accusations that ministers are loading a further cost on spiralling energy prices by again requiring British taxpayers to subsidise nuclear power. The coalition counters that similar subsidies are going to other carbon-free industries such as renewables and that the country needs the energy security and steady base load that nuclear provides. Gas prices, although relatively low, are predicted to rise.

Britain is taking a sharply different route to Germany, which has decided to phase out nuclear power, and Italy, which has scrapped a planned nuclear programme. France, traditionally the nuclear enthusiast, has pledged to cut atomic power to 50% of its electricity mix from 75% today.

The strike price – the guaranteed rate to be paid for electricity produced at the Somerset site – will be announced as £92.50 on Monday, following two years of complex negotiations. That is nearly twice the market price of energy. The price is guaranteed for 35 years and will rise in line with inflation.

EDF was thought to have started negotiations demanding a figure of £100, with the Treasury's gambit being £80.

The price will fall to £89.50 if EDF presses ahead with a second plant at Sizewell, Suffolk. Chancellor George Osborne removed another obstacle last week when he announced that Chinese firms would be allowed to invest in civil nuclear projects in the UK.

Ministers will come under twin attack from green groups, both for endangering safety and providing subsidy, as well as from enthusiasts for shale gas for failing to put their faith in cheap gas, currently nearly half the cost of nuclear.

The energy secretary, Ed Davey, is preparing to counter green groups by arguing that onshore or offshore wind could not fill the energy gap created by the decommissioning of the first wave of power stations. By some estimates, Hinkley Point C will generate the equivalent output of 6,000 onshore wind turbines.

EDF's longtime partner, China General Nuclear Power Group, possibly in combination with China National Nuclear Corporation, is expected to have a 30% to 40% stake in the consortium, with Areva taking another 10%, according to French weekend newspaper reports. The deal is thought to provide a 10% return on EDF's investment.

The coalition policy is being led by the Liberal Democrats – the party that had, in principle, opposed nuclear power right up until its party conference in September. The deal is a huge gamble for both the government and EDF, since projecting the state of the electricity market and wholesale prices 35 years ahead is fraught with risk.

Michael Fallon, the Conservative energy minister, signalled another review of the green subsidies imposed on energy firms, but Davey said: "It only takes a GCSE in maths to recognise that green subsidies are not pushing up prices. It is a fact that 47 % of energy prices come from wholesale prices and they have risen 50% in five years."

馬王之爭 意外牽動兩岸新局勢 : 台灣 公民運動力量崛起

新頭殼newtalk2013.10.03 文/莊豐嘉

世事如棋，一著錯，滿盤皆輸。馬英九以為將王金平一軍，王就死定了，沒想到自己卻陷入死棋的窘境。但這一著棋，卻不只關係國民黨存亡，也牽動兩岸關係的局勢走向，這可能是馬金體制最料想不到的發展。

如果馬英九意欲剷除王金平這塊立法院的大石頭，是為了幫服貿協議和兩岸和平協議鋪路，目前看來是弄巧成拙，欲速則不達；不僅沒有移開障礙，反而形成被包圍的態勢。

如果說陳水扁第二任後期改走急獨路線，讓老大哥美國不高興，進而翻臉，則馬英九想走急統捷徑，卻吃緊弄破碗的手法，也讓他的老大哥中國很不悅。為什麼?

馬英九急於在兩岸關係有建樹的態度，是十分明確的；為了舖陳兩岸和平協議，首開先例讓非財經官員的陸委會主委王郁琦隨團參加APEC，就是一例。但中國雖然接受這樣的安排，中央官員卻在公開場合對此表示不予評論。

據了解，真正的原因是，馬英九這項決定並未事先跟中共告知，讓中國國台辦官員也感到錯愕。為了不讓馬英九難堪，中共決定吞下這個安排，但對於馬政府丟掉海基會白手套，讓官方性質的陸委會主委直接上場，中共官員甚至忍不住說出：「李登輝搞台獨，難道馬英九也是？」

尤其看到這次馬英九處理九月政爭的拙劣手段，不分藍綠，幾乎一致撻伐的情況，讓中共官員對於929嗆馬英九的局勢感到憂心，雖然這次嗆馬規模不如預期，但中共對馬英九的評價，已經和台灣人大罵馬英九無能，沒什麼兩樣。

中國的確很希望和台灣簽訂兩岸和平協議，但中共內部研判，從國際情勢來看，美國不可能同意兩岸整合的速度如此之快；而從台灣境內的情勢觀察，中共也深知，只要有３分之１民眾反對，都會讓兩岸和平協議充滿波折，甚至效用不大。

因此有一種說法，對於在馬英九任內是否能夠簽署兩岸和平協議，中共基本上已不看好，甚至作好兩岸統和時間還要更長的準備。

然而，馬英九的凸槌舉措，還不是中共最傷腦筋的；中共現在最擔心的也不是民進黨可能重新執政，而是找不到和台灣對話的窗口。

中共原本寄希望於國民黨，希冀透過國民黨的重新執政，加速兩岸統一，但是台灣近年來公民運動的蓬勃發展，以及所牽動的政治變化，才是讓中共官員目瞪口呆，不知所措之所在。

中共官員透露，以前透過支持國民黨、打壓民進黨，就可以影響台灣的政局，但包括洪仲丘事件、大埔事件等公民運動力量的崛起，台灣民眾已經不需要政黨的介入或支持，而是直接挑戰政府決策。這股力量，勢必也成為影響兩岸統獨的重要指標。

問題是，台灣的公民組織誰也不能代表誰，甚至多的是無組織的組織，這種益形複雜的變化，對中共來講，可說相當頭疼，因為就算想要跟台灣這些新興力量進行接觸，也是接觸無門，不知從何做起。

國民黨固若金湯的執政權，在馬王之爭中造成巨大的裂解；隨著關說、監聽及洩密等案情的不斷爆出，民眾對政府的戒心更是加深；加上自主性公民運動的崛起，讓台灣政治再也不是誰說了算。如此的情勢丕變，不僅國民黨傷腦筋，中共官員也只好嘆說，永遠跟不上台灣的變化。這或許是馬王之爭到目前為止最讓人意想不到的發展了。

馬黃熱線密切通聯 司法獨立性 疑 被破壞

馬黃熱線密切通聯 違法違憲

法學界：談論個案 逾越紅線
〔記者項程鎮、林俊宏、彭顯鈞／台北報導〕馬英九總統不但和檢察總長黃世銘兩度見面討論立法院長王金平涉關說案情，在特偵組九月六日開記者會公布關說案後，黃世銘和總統府都證實，馬還數度致電黃世銘。法學界人士昨痛斥，馬、黃兩人不但當面談論個案，還多次通聯，完全逾越了憲政與司法紅線！
黃世銘日前答詢自爆兩度和馬總統見面討論關說案後，前晚又向媒體透露，九月六日特偵組開完記者會後，馬總統曾打電話給他。黃世銘昨不接聽電話，特偵組代理發言人張進豐則表示，無法代為回應，因此無法得知黃世銘最新回應。
府：要黃說清楚 沒指揮辦案
總統府坦承其事，但撇清說馬數度致電黃世銘，是希望黃針對特偵組被質疑的問題對外說清楚，「沒有指揮辦案的問題！」
不過外界質疑，總長根本不該和總統見面討論案子，如今總長像擠牙膏似地一筆一筆自爆，讓外界質疑兩人間有熱線交流，是否經常性就司法案件交換意見。
民間司改會辦公室主任高榮志昨表示，當初修法讓檢察總長有任期保障，就是希望維持辦案獨立性，總長不該踩紅線找總統討論個案，而總統接受了總長報告，也已逾越了紅線。
高榮志說，黃世銘面對追問，以擠牙膏方式，承認八月卅一日起連兩天面見馬英九，後來又坦承總統在九月六日後也來電，讓外界質疑兩人是否有經常性的討論案件。
高榮志說，黃世銘應效忠法制，而非領袖。當年美國總統柯林頓並非因性醜聞案遭彈劾，而是肇因於作偽證，黃對於面見總統的說詞，若在美國，可能因未將全部事實一次說出，而吃上偽證罪官司。
兩人被質疑 是否常討論案件
台大法律系副教授林明昕也指出，如果特偵組是檢察總長的禁衛隊，檢察總長又是總統的特使，就會讓人回想到白色恐怖時代的警總，不能讓整件事就這樣落幕，一定要全盤檢討監聽制度及特偵組存廢問題。
林明昕指出，整件事顯示馬透過特偵組把手伸進國會，以王金平關說為幌子，不顧王是國會議員選出的議長，想利用政黨內部制裁手段，把王拉下台，明顯是以行政權干涉立法權。

台灣透明組織執行長葉一璋教授表示，檢察機關辦案是國家廉政體系的重要支柱，應獨立行使職權，應免於國家領導人的干涉，從特偵組監聽事件後續發展來看，檢察總長有無揣摩上意，已讓人懷疑，台灣還有很多努力空間。

馬黃會面 疑有第三人在場

檢方不排除一併傳喚到案

〔記者林俊宏、彭顯鈞／台北報導〕台北地檢署偵辦檢察總長黃世銘涉犯洩密等罪一案，檢方已著手向台北地院及國安局等單位調閱卷證，承辦檢察官近日並將先以證人身分訊問馬總統，除鞏固案情外，也可避免串證；另外，檢方將與總統府聯繫，確認馬英九何時有空後再發出傳票。據悉，總統府目前傾向採前總統陳水扁當初赴花蓮地檢署作證模式出庭，馬最快這一、兩週就會親自到北檢說明，成為我國司法史上元首出庭作證的第二例。

針對台北地檢署打算傳馬作證，總統府發言人李佳霏昨表示，總統府尊重司法，但基於偵查不公開，沒有其他評論。不過，黨政人士指出，北檢確於本週與府方聯繫，馬總統將會配合傳喚。

馬最快一、兩週內赴北檢說明

北檢表示，近來已有廿多起民眾告發黃世銘涉向總統報告案情，罪名則包括觸犯洩密、通保法、偽造文書、個資法、公懲法等罪，且告發內容全都提到，關說案在九月五日簽結，黃世銘搶在之前就夜奔總統官邸向馬總統密告這起關說案。

據了解，檢方初步認為黃世銘在刑事調查程序仍未完成時，向總統打小報告恐怕有洩密之嫌。不過，北檢發言人黃謀信僅強調基於偵查不公開，檢方無法對外說明，承辦此案的主任檢察官張介欽也絕口不談相關案情。

由於馬英九具有元首刑事豁免權，檢方將先以證人身分傳馬鞏固案情，以了解黃對外所說的見面次數和洽談內容是否一致。此外，檢方也懷疑馬、黃九月一日會面過程恐另有府院黨高層人士一起在場聆聽，相關與會人等不排除也一併傳喚到案說明。

時間又說錯？ 網友揪馬公然說謊 【2013/10/2 20:46】

〔本報訊〕總統馬英九在監聽國會風暴中被抓包說謊？今（2）日馬英九在接受廣播專訪中，陳述於8月31日晚上8點半在官邸見了檢察總長黃世銘，但是網友抓包，當時馬英九明明還在水利署防災中心了解有關康芮颱風帶來的災情，怎麼有可能「分身」跑到官邸聽報告？還是說馬英九是在防災中心聽黃世銘報告案情？

　針對外界的種種質疑，馬英九今日曾在專訪中說，不排除與黃世銘「對質」。

8/31幾點見黃？　馬黃說法不一

　網友揭露，當天馬英九總統臉書，還上傳馬英九在防災中心聽取報告的照片，災防簡報中「羌園村」的災情即時監控畫面，清楚顯示時間為8月31日晚上8時56分02秒。網友按照邏輯推論，馬英九根本不可能在當晚8點半出現在官邸聽黃世銘的報告。

　且馬英九今日自爆「8月31日晚上8點半在官邸見了檢察總長黃世銘」的說法，遭網友揪出的疑點不只一個。

　第2個疑點，特偵組9月14日新聞稿中，明白寫著當晚9點半（指8月31日），檢察官還在訊問相關證人。如果馬英九今日有關時間點的說法屬實，恐怕已經證實特偵組案件偵辦當中，馬英九就聽取了偵辦中的案件報告，涉嫌違法。

對照馬說法　聽報告現場恐不只1人

　且根據媒體先前報導，黃世銘是8月31日待特偵組傳訊檢察官林秀濤、陳正芬，製作筆錄後，才於深夜11時「夜奔」官邸找馬英九報告，時間明顯有很大差異。

　第3個疑點，馬英九今日除表示，8月31日晚上8點半在官邸見了檢察總長黃世銘，還在晚間10時找了行政院長江宜樺、前總統府副秘書長羅智強討論；對照深夜11時「夜奔」官邸的說法，恐怕又證實黃世銘報告案情時，現場「不只總統1人」，與馬英九今日說見黃世銘2次都是1對1的說法又有出入。

　網友發揮「柯南」精神，指證歷歷，呼籲今日專訪「自打嘴巴」的馬英九，明日應該再開記者會說明；還有網友諷刺，「馬不說謊才是新聞」。

黃世銘自爆馬數次來電　動作頻頻為求自保？

原文網址: 黃世銘自爆馬數次來電　動作頻頻為求自保？ | 政治新聞 | NOWnews 今日新聞網 http://www.nownews.com/2013/10/02/301-2992099.htm#ixzz2gaToFMCK

特偵組涉嫌違法監聽的風暴愈演愈烈，檢察總長黃世銘監聽民進黨立委柯建銘電話，卻引發國民黨內的馬王之爭，至今一發不可收拾，現又被爆出監聽立法院總機，朝野立委更是同聲抨擊。但監聽國會電話至今，黃世銘接連自爆，從當初僅與馬英九總統通話1次，到後來上月6日特偵組召開記者會後，馬英九又數次來電，綠營立委認為，馬已將黃當棄子準備切割，黃的連爆則被視為「自保」。

黃世銘究竟和馬英九見面、連絡過幾次？一開始黃世銘在9月9日對外界表示「只有1次」，不料日前黃世銘在立法院接受備詢時，竟然又自爆「見馬2次」，引發立委嘩然，但外界質疑恐怕不只2次；不出所料，黃世銘之後又向媒體自爆，上月6日特偵組召開記者會完畢之後，馬英九曾打電話給他，總統府也坦承馬曾「數次」打給黃世銘。

特偵組從調查關說案，卻演變成更嚴重的違法監聽國會，讓社會大眾對於特偵組辦案的公信力已經蕩然無存。事後總統府似乎劃下紅線，只要違法就要負責。對於馬數度去電給黃，府方回應是希望黃世銘針對特偵組被質疑的問題對外說明清楚，絕無指揮辦案的問題。

但法界人士認為，馬和黃曾多次見面和電話通聯，已完全逾越了憲政和司法紅線。黃世銘接連自爆曾多次和馬英九連繫，讓外界認為他似乎也展開了自保的動作。黃世銘動作頻頻，也讓綠營立委認為，馬英九可能已經將他當做棄子來切割，黃現在緊抱馬大腿，就是要將馬拉進來。
