- - - Intel to buy the farm?: A sleepy Utah farm owned by the Mormon church may soon be transformed into a sprawling, megamillion-dollar Intel research and development campus, according to a report in *The Salt Lake Tribune. Intel ( INTC ), the world's biggest computer chip company, reportedly has an option to buy the 140-acre farm on the outskirts of Riverton, Utah, and is awaiting a sales and incentives pitch from local politicians before making a final decision to move ahead with construction of a 48-acre facility. If built, it could bring 8,000 high-paying jobs to Riverton. The town also stands to make $17 million in property taxes if the sale goes through. "This is without a doubt the biggest coup any city in Utah has ever been able to consider," Riverton Mayor Sandra Lloyd told the Tribune. - - - Amazon invades Germany: The online marketing war for cyberspace is going global.
