HEIL OTELLINI!
We must purge the earth of non-Intel CPUS that are not 100% pure!
INTEL POWER!
Damn that felt stupid. Now why is Sharikou claiming that Intel supporters are in league with nazism and the third reich?
Disturbing quotes by Sharikou:
Americans and Chinese are smarter
it is impossible for the Israeli amateurs to do some radical new stuff out of no where, they simply don't have the track record for ground breaking work.
It's bad that Intel Israel bragged so much for so little. And it's not good that they willfully failed to mention Bob Colwell the American, but instead took every credit of the Pentium 3 Israeli edition as all new.
While AMD's grand masters grew up with 64 bit, the Israeli amateurs don't even understand there is a need for it.
After so many years, the Israeli amateurs have not figured out how to do 64
Sounds like Sharikou has a problem with Jews. All of you AMD fans who support Sharikou should reconsider the company you keep.
Great post Intel Fanboi.
Sharidouche needs to give up on the internet.
All he is doing is making himself look more and more like a fucking idiot every time he posts.
Maybe he and oneexpert will actually end all the pain they are going thru as Intel repeatedly beats AMD down with a large brick.
Anyone else notice that Sharidouche's posts are sounding more and more like a frightened child?
Hey Shrikou: stop lying about your PhD and face the fact Intel ain't going BK in 2008 and its actually AMD that has something to worry about.

"copytel"? Then why is AMD using Intel's architecture? Here's why: They couldn't design their own architecture on their own.
Just the same as they can't design their own processors that are industry leading. AMD Barcelona with 30% yields that make Intel laugh histerically with clock speeds so low that Intel could just stop making faster CPUs and would still have the performance lead a year from now!
AMD: The only company in the industry that releases "next generation" products (R600, K10) that aren't even as fast their competitors existing products!
INTEL, 142,000,000,000,000,000% better than AMD ALWAYS MORE DEBT.
BK in Q2'08.
American Technology Research lowers AMD estimate again.
''We believe the company's late Barcelona introduction and disappointing early performance are an early indication of a bad marriage of process technology and design that will be hard to fix before a move to 45-nm is required,'' said analyst Doug Freedman of American Technology Research Inc., in a new report.
''AMD still has a lot of work to do to fix the architectural mismatch of Barcelona with the 65-nm process node and the poor performance of R600,'' he said, referring to ATI's latest graphics chip. That chip is also late to the market.
''We are lowering our Q3 revenue and EPS estimate to $1.529 billion and a loss of $0.62 from $1.557 billion and a loss of $0.58,,'' he said. ''For 2008, we now forecast revenue of $6.855 billion verses our prior expectation of $7.237 billion, with our net loss estimate lowered to $0.97 from $0.44.''
Read that? Another half a billion in loses in 2008.
Lol...you associate me with Nazism? Please...to reveal part of my true life, half my family is Jewish you fucking dink...if anything I could sift through your blog and find several direct links to you and Nazism, and you supporting Nazism, but you frankly are only worth the time it takes to belittle and heckle your sorry sack of shit ass...
OneRetard = OneExpert who probably = you...and frankly, what I posted was meant as just what it was - an insult....you're both dimwitted losers who haven't got the intelligence of a thumbtack...
I really truly hope you enjoy being laughed at constantly you pussy...
Sharikou seems to suffer from amnesia when it comes to nazis. Why does AMD an American Company have 100% of the there processor production in Dresden Germany a former Nazi centre in WWII? How many American and Allies were killed by munitions made in the factories of Dresden. At least Intel manufactures in the United States (witness the 2 new 45nm fabs) and AMD goes to a former facist and then communist country.
As to the matter of Israeli competence in design I would like to point out that 162 Nobel Prize winners were Jewish which represents about 25% of all prizes awarded and only less than 1% of the world population being Jewish. Makes for an interesting paradox when no other ethnic group German, Chinese, Russian etc. even comes close.
Hello Sharikou: You are the only nazi on this board, intentionally making racist comments about Intels' development team.
At the same time you (using that alternate account for one_expert) post intentional lies and distortions that ARE NOT EVEN AMUSING.
You see Sharikou, it's one thing when you act like a brain-dead Klan member, we can laugh at that. But when you log in as one_retard you just whole-sale steal boring quotes from other websites and then inject fanboy lies. NOT AMUSING. I don't come here for intelligence, I come here to see stupid people entertain me, and you are failing miserably right now Sharikou Ph.D. of racist bordeom.
First off, Jewish DOES NOT EQUAL ISRAEL! Can we kindly get away from these type of arguments please?
As for Oneexpert, dude it's getting old. We all know your whole life is falling apart as AMD begins its steady spiral to bankrupcy. We all know you debate eating a gun, slitting your wrists or taking your autoerotic asphyxiation games with Shariadouche just a bit too far, but you really need to learn you history boy.

Oneexpert you silly little moron.
Remember one important thing. INTEL ALREADY HAS AND HAS BEEN USING THE TECHNOLOGIES IBM IS SELLING TO AMD.
See AMD on their own wasn't able to push this type of technology into production, mostly due to the fact they don't have the resources to spend on R&D, unlike Intel.
But of course, so fixated on AMD are you, you failed to realize that.
One has to wonder between your two copy and paste accounts if you are ever going to post something that requires using your own minimal capacity, and minimally functional brain.
I doubt it.
Around here all you can do is cut and paste, and YOU STILL look like a retard fucking a doorknob. If you were to post your own words, one would quickly and utterly come to the realization you were much better off just cutting & pasting.

Dumbest. Post. EVER.
Well, when you're as moronic and ignorant as Sharidouche, you post things like this.
I'm really leaning towards the theory that this is nothing more than a social experiment put on by some college kid to study fanboyism...
Which is why my posts have degraded to derogatory and (evidently) inflammatory statements...
The persona of Sharidouche could never live with himself and his inane ramblings and would probably have offed himself long ago...
Sharikou, do you still insist that Intel will go bankrupt in 2Q?
I noticed you haven't really been saying that lately...
OMG!
Did you follow the link that he listed? It's a "historical revisionist" site that tries to contradict the extent of suffering and numbers killed in The Holocaust.
So now we know where the "doctor" spends his time, don't we?
An excerpt from the site's home page:
Institute for Historical Review
The IHR is sometimes mischaracterized as a “Holocaust denial” organization. This smear is completely at variance with the facts. The Institute does not “deny the Holocaust.” ...
All the same, the IHR has published detailed books and numerous probing essays that call into question aspects of the orthodox Holocaust extermination story, and highlight specific Holocaust exaggerations and falsehoods.
Even its adversaries, such as the Zionist “Anti-Defamation League,” acknowledge the IHR’s effectiveness.
Anybody that denies or negates any aspect of what happpened during the holocaust is a pathetic loser who deservers to be eaten by rats...
Godwin's Law...
you lose.
Sharikou has been at a loss for years. This is nothing new to him.
The ONLY people that take him seriously are the fanbois who think that AMD is the be all and end all of the computing world, that door knobs are cool to fuck and that it is cool to hang youself while jerking it.
Definition of Sharikou:
What you get when you cross a crack whore and a mentally disabled chimpanzee....
Take that back Pizza. Thats an insult to the chimp!
I guess we are all just lucky that Sharikou's only "claim to fame" is this blog...
As a "freelance journalist" its apparent he hasn't worked for a while. Maybe soon, they will cut off his internet for lack of payment. The world would once again become a bit more intelligent.
Intel fanboi -
"But with all do respect, what else could Sharikou mean?"
If you don't know then you don't know; no more words, period. It is never correct not even politically to guess what other (anyone) people have in their minds.
"We don't hear him saying "Californian Designers", "Oregonian Amateurs" or any other "regional" group singled out for special attention."
Because Intel's p6 line since Banias core is designed in Israel. Surely when talking about Pentium-M/Core 2 he wouldn't refer to anywhere but where those cores are designed.
"The most likely reason is he doesn't like Jews. He wouldn't be the first. Israeli is code for Jew."
Interesting... he may not like the Pentium-M designers, but it's hardly equal to "he doesn't like Jews" (neither Israel for that matter).
It seems to me that you have linked the success of Pentium-M and Core 2 to the pride of Jews, and thus when somebody criticizes the former you automatically get offended. It is totally unnecessary.
Why are you defending this PUTZ?
he clearly said:
Americans and Chinese are smarter it is impossible for the Israeli amateurs to do some radical new stuff out of no where, they simply don't have the track record for ground breaking work.
Thats an insult to the Israeli's plain and simple. No not anti-semetic per say, but still insulting.
Abinstein - sift thru this joke of a blog, and you'll find several references to Sharikou's own Nazi-like attitudes, not just against Jews, but other's as well...
Abinstein: Please go back to making inaccurate "predictions" about AMD's latest & not-so-greatest products. When you blindly agree with everything Sharikou has ever said (including his racism) it only makes all of AMD look bad.

"Because Intel's p6 line since Banias core is designed in Israel. Surely when talking about Pentium-M/Core 2 he wouldn't refer to anywhere but where those cores are designed."
Sharikou has been attacking everything Intel has done for two years. Not once has he singled out another design group like the "Israeli Ameteurs". Time and time again he uses this term.
"It seems to me that you have linked the success of Pentium-M and Core 2 to the pride of Jews, and thus when somebody criticizes the former you automatically get offended."
I believe you just said "It is never correct to guess what other people have in their minds." I find it strange that in the same post you would tell me not to do that, then you do that to me. All racism offends me, and I will call it out when I see it.
Be careful what you support Abinstein.
"Thats an insult to the Israeli's plain and simple. No not anti-semetic per say, but still insulting."
Yes the statement you quoted is insulting Intel's Israeli office. It's nothing less nor nothing more than that. People from every country pretty much insult every other country - that doesn't make the insult (even though improper) against Jews nor make him a bit Nazi-like.
"sift thru this joke of a blog, and you'll find several references to Sharikou's own Nazi-like attitudes, not just against Jews, but other's as well..."
Maybe he did, I wouldn't know because I don't follow his blog very closely. I was just explaining to Intel_fanboi why it is nothing wrong for Sharikou to refer to Israel when he criticize Core 2 - because Core 2 is designed in Israel.
"Sharikou has been attacking everything Intel has done for two years. Not once has he singled out another design group like the "Israeli Ameteurs". Time and time again he uses this term."
Again, you are guessing what he thought. By your argument, he has not once singled out Jews as well, thus your accusation that "Sharikou has problems with all Jews" is as false as well.
"I believe you just said "It is never correct to guess what other people have in their minds."
Yes, you believe correctly.
"I find it strange that in the same post you would tell me not to do that, then you do that to me."
Just like you "believe" above, I can observe, too. The fact that I observe is obvious - when Sharikou criticize Intel's Israeli designers, you link it to an offense toward Jews and you equate his criticism to Nazism. I was merely stating the fact.
"All racism offends me, and I will call it out when I see it."
But you have no right to "call out" something that other people didn't say nor state. Just because a person doesn't like Intel's Israeli office doesn't make him Nazi nor racist.
As a matter of fact, Intel's Israeli department did make very lousy "contribution" to the x86 before - namely the initial x87 math co-processor. It was terribly implemented and horribly supported by the very Intel Israel. I guess by saying so I am a Nazi-like racist in your opinion as well?
Chuckula -
Please read the following statements that you made:
"The K10 has a shared cache just like what Intel did! The new party line is that Intel must have stolen the idea from AMD and that Intel's designs are just ripoffs of AMD. You see? No thinking, no analysis, no thought, just blind emotional hatred. That same kind of hatred is what got 6 million Jews gassed and that same hatred is why Muslims are blowing up other Muslims in Iraq right now."
First, K10's shared L3 cache is totally different from Core 2's shared L2 cache. There is very little that AMD can use in Intel's shared L2 cache in the microarchitecture level.
Second, I am amazed by your ability to link anyone's criticism on Intel to "what got 6 million Jews gassed" and "why Muslim blowing up other Muslim in Iraq". So if someone doesn't like the way Intel does business, he is automatically in-line with Holocaust or terrorists? Isn't it a bit ridiculous to you?

Excuse me Abinstein, but it was Sharikou, not me, who used the word "Nazism". You are using a very old (and boring) debate trick and faulty logic. No one familiar with your blog should be surprised.
Intel fanboi -
"Excuse me Abinstein, but it was Sharikou, not me, who used the word "Nazism"."
Oh well, maybe I have remembered wrong, and you've actually never mentioned "Nazi" in your previous comments. But I cannot help to notice that there are lots of deleted comments of yours hanging around here. I believe the difference between you and Sharikou is that you more avidly delete your old comments.
Still, when Sharikou says: "Intel's exclusionism has its roots in NAZIsm," you were able to derive "Sounds like Sharikou has a problem with Jews." As I said, I was merely stating the fact that such linkage is totally unnecessary.
"You are using a very old (and boring) debate trick and faulty logic. No one familiar with your blog should be surprised."
So precisely what in my blog that makes you not surprised of what? Unlike you I do not delete what I wrote in my blog articles; so if you can simply go over there, take a look, and point out any "problems with Jews"-like errors.... ?
BTW, you have a terrific way of skipping all the arguments in my previous comment but focus on a single error. That is not some sloppy/nasty logic trick, I suppose?
abistein,
No ones gives a flying F*@(@ about your blog, except yourself.
Someone suggested you go here and hang out with your kind.
I went to abinstein's blog i read this statement from his recent article.....
think the fact is Intel was lying in order to (most poorly) conceal the fact that, in terms of processor architectural design, it is lacking AMD for almost a whole year. What AMD can do in 2007 at 65nm, Intel must wait until 2008 at 45nm.
I laughed my ass off. Thank you for the laughs abinstein you have been added to the list of daily joke sites i go to....

As my mum would say.
It's better to do small things well than big things badly!
AMD hasn't done anything on 65nm. So far all 65nm products are poor. Designing something and implementing are 2 completely different things.
Just because Barcelona is a good design doesn't make it a good processor.
Hell i'm sure we could design future processors that run on 22nm and such and are 10x as fast as todays. We could probably put them on todays process and throw 99.999% of them in the bin becuase they are too advanced for their time.
There is a balance to be evaluated. AMD have got the balance totally wrong. It is not just the physical processor that matters. The economics of it are just as important.
Abinstein: Just read this blog for 5 minutes to see the type of hatred I'm talking about. I made those comments in response to racism that Sharikou was spewing about how Intel's design team wasn't "American" and the "Israelis" can't design chips.
As for the shared cache: Last time I checked AMD used the same 6 transistor SRAM cells everyone else used. You do have a point however: AMD's cache in the K10 is massively inferior to the one Intel started using over a year ago... go read the Anandtech review, it takes the AMD L3 cache 76ns to transfer data between cores, while the Intel L2 shared cache can do it in about 26ns. (See here)
What's even funnier is that the "ancient" Intel FSB can transfer data between the "glued together" cores in 77ns while the "magical" AMD native-quad core design that is nearly sinking the company does it 1 ns faster.. wow, what an improvement!
Abinstein: You are an enemy of AMD. You will overlook anything they do, blindly agree with Sharikou, defend racism, and concoct reasons to hate Intel because of some mental deficiency you have. If AMD wants to survive into 2009 it needs more people like me who can actually be objective, and a whole lot less of the Hector show.

Ha ha ha! Its my own fault for trying to have a logical discussion with you! Thats your argument?!?! I mention Nazi and then delete the post? You will say anything, no matter how stupid, to try to win an argument.
"Still, when Sharikou says: "Intel's exclusionism has its roots in NAZIsm," you were able to derive "Sounds like Sharikou has a problem with Jews.""
Oh really?? Why don't you repost the EXACT line from my post where I drew a linkage from Sharikou's current post to the Jews? Or did I delete that post too?
BTW, you have a terrific way of skipping all the arguments"
Why should I debate you Abinstein? The entire discussion would consist of me correcting your logic.
So Abinstein, we already knew that you would say anything to defend your precious AMD. But now we see you will even defend racist remarks if they are made by a pro-AMD blogger. So, whether you believe it was a slight against Jews or a slight against Israelis, Abinstein, will you join me in condemning Sharikou's racist language??
"No ones gives a flying F*@(@ about your blog, except yourself."
I'm not very surprised to find that the people who would waste countless keystrokes in pointless personal insults on Sharikou's comment areas article after article have no use of my blog.
The single time in months that I found some "defend-Intel/defend-Jews" logic peculiar (to say the least) and cared to comment, this above is the response that I see. All down to personal attacks, and nil to a real argument.
So there are people who can laugh but who don't think - what can I say? I say just enjoy your time here.
Why condemn him - just fucking heckle his sorry ass - I do, it's fun...he's not worth the effort of condemnation - abenstein and his ilk seem to hang on everyword this douchebag says without thought or analysis of what it is he is saying...
Sharikou's nothing more than a case of the coat hanger missing the fetus....
"Ha ha ha! Its my own fault for trying to have a logical discussion with you!"
I'd say it's literally your fault that you are correcting when you delete your old comment, isn't it?
"I mention Nazi and then delete the post?"
No, I didn't say that. I only noticed you have a lot of deleted comments. I also couldn't find where you mentioned Nazi (except here). I also admitted that saying you mentioned Nazi was my error.
"Why don't you repost the EXACT line from my post where I drew a linkage from Sharikou's current post to the Jews?"
The Sharikou's statement that you quote did not mention Jews at all, either. It goes back to my original comment, where I explicitly told you criticism toward Intel's Israeli office does not equate that toward Israeli in general, and less to Jews.
Sharikou is entitled to his points of view on Intel Israel. I have no wish to defend him. But I do find your generalization of "Intel Israel" to "problems with Jews" faulty. Also, I do know that before the Banias core the Israeli part of Intel did do miserably on the implementation of the original x87.
"Why should I debate you Abinstein? The entire discussion would consist of me correcting your logic."
No, you don't need to debate me. But you are not supposed to put words into my mouth and then "correct" those yourself.
"So Abinstein, we already knew that you would say anything to defend your precious AMD."
Apparently you don't know that truth nor the facts. I defend for AMD only on places where Intel makes false statements.
"But now we see you will even defend racist remarks if they are made by a pro-AMD blogger."
For God's sake, I was correcting your logic error, not defending racism. You claim that racism offends you, but when you single out Jews from an attack on Intel Israel your self is acting more like a racist.
"So, whether you believe it was a slight against Jews or a slight against Israelis, Abinstein, will you join me in condemning Sharikou's racist language??"
I will join you to disagree with Sharikou's biased opinion against Intel's Israeli office (in fact I think they're doing a great job in Core 2, much better than they did in x87). However, I will not join you in "condemning" others "racist" just because they criticize Intel Israel.
Abinstein said:
"The single time in months that I found some "defend-Intel/defend-Jews" logic peculiar (to say the least) and cared to comment"
Alas, another debate trick. So now its about defending Intel linked with defending Jews? I thought I was talking about attacking "Israeli". How low will you sink Abinstein?
I'm done with this thread. In other news, the Canadian Amateurs may be releasing a new chipset this month. But since Americans are smarter, I expect Nvidia to frag ATI.
Yeah, I think I'm done with this thread too...here's what I've gathered....Sharikou is a bigger douche than I originally estimated, a racist scumbag with no ethics, journalistic ability, or technical knowledge whatso ever...his followers hang off his jock as if he actually knows what he's talking about, and will defend his racism and exclusionism (indeed, what else can it be given that he wants Intel to die and AMD be the only CPU supplier) and his idiocy to the very end...
I will continue to heckle and insult this sorry sack of dogshit and his little pissants as I have the luxury to do so and I find it much more entertaining than television....
Where the fuck is Phenom? Where the fuck is RX780?

Not 2007, apparently.
AMD BK 2Q 08.
Good call Dr. Pizza (Um, you wouldn't happen to be an Ars'er would ya?).
AMD's schedules are slipping badly.
When they do, Intel just sits back and holds their cards closer.
Intel has a lot coming up this Q.
If AMD's only response is Barcelona and tri-cores, they may as well throw in the towel now.
The tiger is awake, and he is hungry.
I won't even get into AMD's massive loss coming soon to a stock market near you.
Good call Dr. Pizza (Um, you wouldn't happen to be an Ars'er would ya?).
Yes of course. The clue is in my tribus.

I was laughing so much few weeks ago .. just right before their paper released barc_lamer .. everybody got a CPU to test ... even mu dog ... BUT guess what .. AMDZone didnt get one!!! LOL ....
Abistein ... go back to amdzone ... we all know how you guys are ... virtual reality? NO we got u guys here but the deal with you is NOT that you are a lier ... BUT you are blind ... so I dont blame you .. Mr. Hardware programer GURU!!
Intelers(copytelers)words are disturbing...
AMD CLAIM,S intel(copytel)nehalem MINMICS AMD TECHNOLOGIES...
After Intel Corp.(copytel) at Intel(copytel) Developer Forum unveiled details in regards its new platform featuring code-named Nehalem processors, Advanced Micro Devices has issued comments claiming that Intel(copytel) actually copied approaches of its smaller rival to create more advanced personal computers.
“What’s amazing is that many of the ‘groundbreaking, innovative new technologies’ are close facsimiles of technologies AMD pioneered, is already shipping, and in some cases, has been shipping for years,” a press statement of AMD reads.
The world’s second largest maker of x86 central processing units (CPUs) says that AMD-developed HyperTransport was mimicked by Intel’s(copytels) QuickPath bus, whereas built-in memory controller was the right thing to go already back in 2003.
“Products that are more than a year away, like Nehalem (compare to native quad-core AMD Opteron), and QuickPath (compare to AMD Direct Connect Architecture and HyperTransport) are simply Intel’s(copytels) admission that AMD was right all along about an integrated memory controller being the key to a superior processor architecture,” AMD said.
Even though built-in memory controller and HyperTransport bus are two indisputable advantages of AMD’s Opteron, Athlon 64, Phenom and Sempron processors, Advanced Micro Devices did not touch upon their performance compared to current Intel(antique) Xeon or Intel(relic) Core 2 processors. The company also did not make any statements regarding relative performance of Nehalem and Bulldozer, however, it said that considering the fact that select Nehalem chips will include graphics cores, the acquisition of ATI Technologies and announcement of code-named Fusion project was the way to go.
“Later, Intel(copytel) talked about its efforts to integrate graphics processors and CPUs with its Larrabee(knock off) project, which should be seen as nothing more than proof positive that AMD had it right with its acquisition of ATI Technologies and continuing development of AMD Fusion processors, due in 2009. AMD is focused on delivering the ultimate visual experience to customers, and while Intel may talk about the visual experience, the mainstream PC platforms with Intel(museum grade) CPUs and chipsets leave something to be desired in that department,” the statement claims.
BUY the original and still best AMD hi performance, energy saving, low cost, cpus, platforms, and video solutions.
Some of the press releases posted here are 10 years old. :S When was the last time anyone gave a fuck about 3DNOW?
In other related news oneexpert pasted in more AMD drivel and called Intel 'copytel'! We must applaud this level of ingenuity!
So explain to me, and everyone else that reads these messages how AMD can be "the original" when they are using Intel's x86 architecture?
"Alas, another debate trick. So now its about defending Intel linked with defending Jews? I thought I was talking about attacking "Israeli". How low will you sink Abinstein?"
Intel fanboi, all you can do is personal attack, yet you do not see the reasoning nor the points. You have been linking others criticism against Intel Israel to their supposed "problems with Jews". I was merely pointing out this error.
"You and Sharikou are cast from the same die."
So just because I disagree with Intel fanboi's logic, it equates me to Sharikou?
No wonder you see no use of what I wrote on my blog. You have no logic!
"You are an amdfanboi, even though you claim not to be."
And who are you to make such judgment? Just because I criticize Intel, it makes me an "amdfanboi"? I guess judges from multiple governments are also "amdfanboi" then, aren't they?
In this blog posting, Sharikou has cited and linked to the web site of the IHR.
It is most illuminating that Sharikou chooses to regard the IHR as a reputable and authoritative source to cite in support of his statements.
Moreover, the fact that Sharikou should juxtapose a contemptuous reference to "Israeli amateurs" with a citation from the web site of the IHR is very curious indeed.
This must be taken together with Sharikou's countless references to the fact that Intel's Core architecture team happens to be based in Israel (regardless of whether the teams' location or nationality is relevant to the subject matter of the blog posting).
Sharikou's many past references to Israel and Israelis are of a tone which tends to suggest that Sharikou believes that any association with Israel and Israelis is inherently negative and that by highlighting such associations with Intel he can win support for his anti-Intel cause.
Longtime readers of this blog may be forgiven for inferring that Sharikou's does not hold Israel and Israelis in high esteem. That Sharikou should deem the IHR as a reputable source to cite in support of his writing suggests that his antipathy for Israel and Israelis may extend to Jews in general.
The sad thing is that it is perfectly possible, even easy, to write cogent and trenchant criticism of Intel and Intel's archtitecture and products without descending into deranged and demented ranting punctuated by xenophobia.
It is also possible to write in support of AMD's architectural advantages while still holding AMD accountable for its failures to execute and preserve shareholder value.
This blog might have grown into a popular and commercially viable destination for people wishing to learn more about the potential of 64-bit computing. Unhappily, not only does the local emperor have no clothes, he's also hysterically irrational and inaccurate in his predictions and prognostications.
I have an aversion to gazing at naked lunatics with defective crystal balls, so I'll be looking elsewhere from now on.
