Intels Evil!!

I'm Thunderman the unofficial AMD leader!!

AMD4Life!!

Fixed.

AMD-getalife more like..

Intel can afford it..

Thanks thunderman, gives me the reason to sell another 4 intel processors. AMD will have a lawsuit soon and youll be the reason behind it..

lol

I can afford the speeding ticket and subsequent increase in insurance rates but that's no justification for driving over the speed limit and doesn't change the fact that speeding is illegal; which is really the point here, that what Intel did was ILLEGAL!

This is the 3rd judgement against Intel regarding their anti-competitive business practices and a win for the consumer. This judgement will fuel the DOJ's and the AG of NY investigations into Intel's practices and pricing schemes.

In the current environment of corporate greed and poor business practices it is a shame that the only penalty is a fine.

Id point out that both Coke and Pepsi negotiate deals, to schools, and other businesses, thats the law, it has to be allowed. Its pointed out AMD tried almost giving away their chips, and was still refused, thats the opposite of the above.
In of itself, denying AMD the right to sell to a certain vendor is ultimately the vendors right to refuse, its gets touchy when Intel has such a huge market share

Intel gives rebates for vendors to use their chips, fine. That's great for them.

Intel pays vendors to delay or cancel AMD-using products. Now that's ILLEGAL marketing. They are preventing AMD from increasing market share. Due to them being much bigger and the only other real company in the home PC CPU business, they are effectively creating a monopoly for themselves by using their better finances to undercut their competition through bribing vendors, that is illegal.

You are all giving thunderman what he wants...

"And thats if AMD truly has a top competing line up of chips, and then only, "
from my earlier post. Not completely giving in, but being unbiased

Maybe so. But to ignore a thunderpants post is somewhat sacrilegious isnt it?

We do not negotiate with trollerists.

Wow who would have thought that intel were sly pricks... oh wait we all knew that already now here proof

Huh? 2 years? I have an AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1.8GHz that is still kickin along on Windows 98SE just fine as a control PC for my routers.

You must be getting some really bad chips.

Harder to get good quality products like in the US? Have you been to Newegg.com?

Then the issue with parts isn't people not wanting any involvement with the EU. It has to do with the VATs and what not?


To quote Vinny Barbarino:

"I'm so confused..."

The reason AMD based machines are crap after two years are proberly down to the nvidia chipsets which have always been crappy compared to intels offerings and that goes for early ATI chipsets too.

Thats true, in mine and your thinking. Its just that people have twisted it to mean thats the only reason for the findings, and tat Intel really didnt do anything wrong

Tesco and Asda ( your Walmart ) have been successfully shutting down small shops over here and they havent been fined and now they are going in to banking. Intel didnt shut down AMD.

But they didnt get fined..


Intel was only protecting its business model by giving offers to pc manufacturers which was seemed anti competitive.

If this was a fine it wasnt for the sake of AMD was it. It was for the burocrats in europe.

Tesco and etal are guilty of a lot more than Intel but Intel gets a fine of 1 Billion dollars because of europe running out of money because the politicians are sucking cash through their back sides.

Some of these politicians are getting not one pension but 3 x £150,000 pensions on top of their £1m salary. This is obscene considering they are mucking up europe and indivual contries as a whole.

As of now we are only just beginning to see how corrupt people are. Im not saying it didnt exist but not to the level we are starting to hear about.

Intel in my eyes have done nothing really wrong, Dell was Intels partner and still is. AMD screamed because they werent getting a look in. AMD have always been second best, they were first for a while - liked the taste of it but got lazy whilst Intel licked their wounds with the Prescott and made the C2D secretly in labs in Israel.

AMD were just as bad when they sold the AMD 64 at a over inflated price and now they scream like a little girl when their fincancial affairs are their own fault. Hector Ruiz is responsible for what happend, no one else. He bought 50 houses and could only pay for 5 when it got tough.

AMD need to accept second place and work on that. They will never be number 1. When they have build enough cash up then market it as you advertising budget will increase.. Intel do market things much better than AMD. AMD need to learn from this.

Yes Sir!

Everyone hates evil pushpins

I wonder what'd happen if AMD had an anti-pushpin cult...

Well... they need Apple-ish marketing as a start.

No such luck, or misfortune, depending on your POV.

Thunderpant's schtick is getting a bit long in the tooth - time for a new act! Personally I prefer the guy who did the fake Steve Jobs blog, maybe he's available now that he's abandoned FSJ...

I see the EC now wants to fine MS again, despite MS not including any browser in Win7. Seems pretty obvious by now that their primary mission is just to suck $$ out of US companies. The US gov't should seriously consider returning the favor and up the import duties..

Its been in America for a long time - remember Watergate Scandle, JFK etc etc ..


Every where is corrupt your politicians do it differently.

You are a socialist? Well then I am sorry then you are stupid, go be a dumb liberal and worship your stupid corrupt god (U.S president).

Helloboy: I agree america is corrupt also, but it used to be good capitalism or "better" now we are starting to turn into i dont know what but something soviet-like and something bad.

Example of firing. GE has sold, and continues to sell to Iran. Ban their products. Write letters. The CEO will soon be gone.
Its no wonder newspapers and national TV have dropped in popularity. Sure, we can blame the net, but a good read is still a good read. But they too have been taken over by the zealots. Whens the last time you saw a movie that didnt include the big bad monied businessman, taking advantage of someone? Or, the evil conservative politician doing something horrific? Or, either of the two somehow going out of their way to destroy our planet, whether its global warming, pollution or destroying our natural resources?
The left has control of the media, the right, business, and were stuck in between. We need to champion those who do the right thing, and put them in the right spot

Problem is, without the left, theres stagnation. The right hasnt lived up to its potential either. If they were really concerned with the little guy, and capitolism in general, they would never have allowed the greed weve seen, thats caused alot of the current economic mess, as theyre greedy too, and the greedy ones thats put them in power pull their strings as well.
Thats why I say, we need to truly go back, and find true chamions of the people, and not have that champion characterized by the left, as is commonly done, where they may throw some crumbs at average Joe, and in the meantime, undermine him, by ignoring his vote on , say, gay marraige as an example. Or illegal immigrants. When they start doing thism theyre getting huge voting blocks for support, and supposedly appeasing average Joe in the process, but in the larger picture, are corrupting the traditional US way of life, which was/is, God first, family second, and good will to all, with equal rights. Not special rights. Not being employed and having the government overseeing whether youve had sexual bias class, thats been approved by said government etc from your employer. Or not making exceptions just because of your sexual preferences. Those are Joes things, not the governments things, and should be honored and left alone, and if something does happen which breaks the law of equality, it should be dealt with, by a government that considers public proerty over private property, and therein lies the problem
