The games that you play are good for a few months and then you forget about them. A MMORGP you can play for a long time and it is still enjoyable. That is if you are a social person and make friends online and get into the community stuff that they offer.

This is all true. Even with Crysis. I played the game through and have though of replaying it but haven't. Oh except on thing. TF2 is not a MMORPG. its a MMOFPS and it never gets boring. Especially with all the new maps, different thing that are done with it and people. What fun it is to head shot a noob scout while in mid air.

Well the only thing here is there are no links to the patents. Plus in the end the guy went to Intel and helped develop the 4004, the 8008 and the 8080 thus giving Intel the ability to use his invention which I am sure he sign legal documents.
 
Either way this guy helped to define the PC as we know it.


That really was my point. That and the fact that he went to work for Intel because they actually knew how to use his invention.
 The reality is that most patents should only be used to identify who should get credit for an invention.
The odd major one, like silicon gate tech, and the 4004, should give the inventor a lot of notoriety.
Faggin was not very good at suing people, but, unfortunately, he has to often been forgotten. Pitty.

Please next time you post something instead of being a fanboy post a freakin link. I would love to know what CPU infringed on Transmetas os so great designs that we are obviously using in out home PCs today.....oh wait thats right Transmeta doesn't make home processors. They make other specific area processros. Please posst us a link showing this.

 

Hey JimmySmitty I am not fully up on this topic but here are some links to what I think Mrsbytch was talking about. I was a little intrigued as I heard about it a while back but isn't really on my radar at the moment.

I figured I would try and save the readers the Google as I already looked it up. I haven't read any financial reports or corporate briefs with anything other than invester fluff. But again not currently my area.

 

Here is linkage to some rather boring legal rhetoric but relevant none the less.

Don't think it is much more than a tactic but its standard and too much is usually better than not enough data.

 

What this comes down to is this is a corporation not a person. "It's just buisness" godfather style nowadays I guess but nothing personal.People forget that I think. Paul Otellini as Scarface!! "Say hello to my little friend" Very litlle in fact 45nm!!!  :sol:  :D

The core 2 was a revision of the OLD pentium Pros of long ago developed from Intels Israeli research and development team. This patent is hot air. But maybe intel will be nice to them just to keep from going to court. Maybe buy them new blow up dolls for those lonely friday nights.

At least youhave some honor in linking proof. But it doesn't state which patents unfortunately. And funny thing is now Intel did some digging and found 7 patents that Transmeta infringed upon. Funny also that Transmeta is going to stop their line of processors for an IP based business but they still only want money.
 
Will be interesting to find out what will happen. It would be funny if some of the patents that Transmeta has date all the way back to what Intel had in the first Pentium considering they were founded in 1995. It would be thrown out.

This is the same thing though. Only one side of the story which can't be used even in a court of law. Has anyone else noticed the increased number of suits recently? Has been happening ever since Phenom turned out to be a flop and Intel has been getting good revenue. Maybe its a conincidence but still.

I wasn't really presenting it as proof just a heads up.  "I haven't read any financial reports or corporate briefs with anything other than invester fluff." These are corporate games that companies play. They have to bank roll legions of Lawyers that do nothing most of the time. So if you pay to retain them why not use them. Also if you follow the stock, everybody’s stock goes up when there is a chance of a settlement in their favor. Only a few dollars a share but that can translate in massive financial gains in trade, day in and day out. Not to mention influencing investor confidence and increasing borrowing and such fiscal leverage. Again it is nothing personal just keeping legal busy so they don't go on a brain eating zombie rampage. And in reality it keeps money moving around and actually stimulates the economy. It is like the ebb and flow of the economic tides, prevents market stagnation without stirring up any serious muck.

Then every company is Evil.  There is not a company in existence that is not in the game to make money, and if a company tells you different, they are lying through their teeth.

Ohhh, right.  I forgot they are "special."  :pt1cable:  
 
Companies do a great marketing job when people actually believe a company is around for a reason other than making money.
