On the heels of the being acquired by Taiwan-based Acer last month, Gateway laid off 50 workers in North Sioux City, Iowa, and another 50 at its headquarters in Irvine, Calif. Nov. 28
The announcement came just weeks after Acer CEO J.T. Wang told BusinessWeek that Acer had no plans to lay off Gateway employees.
