OT: Imho, the dumbest acquisition occurred today….

[quote=joec]The difference between a hands on worker and the CEO is the amount of money they can afford to lose and still keep their job…

I worked at a hosting company a long time ago and Intel thought about doing security and server farm hosting as well and did some data center build outs. Only thing they did was tour our facilities and try to steal how it was done…I think they left that industry as well (did they?).

Sometimes, large companies just seem want to merge for no other reason than to say they are doing something at their job and being busy…[/quote]

Wrong. The difference between a CEO and a normal employee is

1)Normal employee that hits on another coworker would get fired with cause.

2)CEO who hits on another coworker get’s a $40million retirement package and sinks the company’s market cap a few billion.

Intel and HP should partnership on a new staring role in silicon valley, “Dumb and Dumber in Corporate America: how we get paid to make fvcked up decisions”

[quote=flu][quote=UCGal]I gave up on McAfee a year ago… A *nasty* virus got past McAfee – I was able to kill it with the FREE microsoft security essentials.

Free, works better… yeah, I’m a fan.[/quote]

Actually, I just use linux for the really important stuff and don’t bother with Symantec or Macfee.

If I have to use a PC, I have a dedicated hard drive specifically for important stuff running an computer that isn’t connected to a network. And if I need to use a PC on the net, I have a separate pc/drive for that, and I don’t run any AV software.

I have unprotected surfing sessions, except if things break, I just reimage the drive….Uh never mind the analogy.[/quote]

Yep, I run Windoze in a VM on my linux box. I need it for a few pieces of software that I have to use (e.g. quickbooks).

What I want to know is why hasn’t intel (or anyone else for that matter) picked up Nvidia yet.

I know that ATI/AMD has the edge right now, but Nvidia GPU is pretty nice….And I see it as having a pretty big potential if these tablet devices/mobile devices (iPad knockoffs) take off and demand greater A/V.

Intel also sucks in the graphics chips dept..having tried so much and failed miserably…Should have bought nvidia too.

Not to forget nvidia also has a mobile CPU that also has some chance of going somewhere…
