It's AMD's birthday and YOU get the presents. If you win.

It's a big day for AMD as it has just shipped its 500 millionth x86 processor. This milestone comes coincidently at the company's 40th anniversary.
To celebrate this milestone and birthday, AMD is giving away presents! All you have to do is do the Twitter thing for a while with AMD and you could win one of four HP Pavilion dv2z notebooks.
The details from AMD are as follows:
- Follow AMD on Twitter (@AMD_Unprocessed), where a new question will be posted every other Monday beginning July 27.
- Send AMD the answer via a direct message to AMD’s twitter handle @AMD_Unprocessed.
- All eligible respondents will be entered into a drawing for an HP dv2z Notebook.
- AMD will give away four AMD processor-based HP Pavilion dv2z notebooks over eight weeks, so fans have ample opportunities to show off their extensive knowledge about the company.
Find out more about the AMD contest here at its 40th Anniversary page.

Screw twitters... but its not much different from here. Oh yeah, like we have nothing more to do with our bloody celphones?!
All this social bs is simply because all the newb pc users have finally figured out how to use the net. -just like most of us did back in the 90s... making websites... not spitting out tweets..
What is funny though to me... twitter is nothing more than a phreaking shoutbox... that has been on every one of my sites for years. Before that... IRC. perhaps all these people will see IRC as the next "new" tech... heh
JK. Point is, a low chance at winning one of the only 4 crappy low end OEM laptops is sooo not worth giving my information away to crap companies like facebook/twitter for. Plus I gotta spend time giving away all that information! *sigh* I'm turning from green to blue...
then after you win, deactivate all them accounts!
