Income Taxes	Note 11 — Income Taxes The Company recorded an income tax provision of $15.1 million and an income tax benefit of $22.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and income tax provisions of $7.8 million and $12.6 million for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2011, respectively. The income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 included a tax benefit of approximately $43.2 million due to the release of valuation allowance resulting from the net deferred tax liabilities recorded as part of the SandForce purchase price allocation. The income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 also included a reversal of $10.8 million in liabilities for uncertain tax positions, which included previously unrecognized tax benefits of $5.7 million and interest and penalties of $5.1 million, as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations in multiple jurisdictions. The income tax provision for the nine months ended October 2, 2011 included a reversal of $9.6 million in liabilities for uncertain tax positions, which included previously unrecognized tax benefits of $5.6 million and interest and penalties of $4.0 million, as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations in multiple jurisdictions. The Company computes its tax provision using an estimated annual tax rate. The Company excludes certain loss jurisdictions from the computation of the estimated annual rate when no benefit can be realized on those losses. With the exception of certain foreign jurisdictions, the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the future benefit of the deferred tax assets will be realized. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had $188.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits, for which the Company is unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate as to when cash settlement with a taxing authority may occur. It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease in the next 12 months. Such changes could occur based on the normal expiration of statutes of limitations or the possible conclusion of ongoing tax audits in various jurisdictions around the world. If those events occur within the next 12 months, the Company estimates that the unrecognized tax benefits, plus accrued interest and penalties, could decrease by up to $16.3 million.
