Gritty AMD's chips are still down
,----[ Quote ]
| Hector Ruiz, AMD CEO, says his company has been at the forefront of
| innovation in computing technology and accuses Intel of abusing its monopoly
| in world markets.
|
| [...]
|
| "If you look at the last five years, if you look at what major innovations
| have occurred in computing technology, every single one of them came from
| AMD. Not a single innovation came from Intel," he claimed.
|
| "So I would say that Intel is trying to catch up with us in that respect."
|
| Ruiz accuses Intel of trying to use their market share and production
| capabilities to squeeze AMD out of the market.
|
| "Intel continues... to abuse their monopoly and that's why around the world
| governments and regulatory agencies continue to go after them."

Intel commits the _same sins_ as its close partner Microsoft, but why isn't
anyone covering this fiasco sufficiently well? More on this is shown in
complaints from AMD (at the bottom).

Intel: doing the dirty on OLPC
,----[ Quote ]
| Intel’s agreement with the OLPC Foundation included a ‘non disparagement’
| clause, under which Intel and One Laptop promised not to criticize each
| other, according to Nicholas Negroponte in the latest article in the Wall
| Street Journal.
|
| Still Intel tactics have violated that repeatedly to kill OLPC efforts in
| Nigeria, Libya, Pakistan, India, China and Intel is also still trying to pull
| those tactics in Mexico, Brazil.
| This is simply disgracefull of Intel, scandalous.
|
| But Negroponte has signed an agreement saying that he is not allowed to
| criticize Intel, so he is not allowed to talk about these shameless tactics
| even though Intel is the one violating the agreement.
|
| So only independant voices on the Internet can get those messages of truth
| out about Intels tactics.
|
| In Nigeria, Intel came and donated 3000 laptops to counter OLPC efforts, then
| sells 17 thousand Classmates to Nigeria at a loss.
|
| Then Microsoft corrupted Nigerian officials with 400 thousand dollars to
| install Windows XP on those instead of Mandriva Linux.
