| infringement lawsuits, hitting small shops with complaints, The Recorder
| reports. Intel is going after a one-man company, Intellelectric, for alleged
| trademark violation. "Trademark enforcement is not unusual for companies with
| famous marks like Intel. But the number of suits sets the Santa Clara-based
| company apart," according to the Recorder report. This year alone, Intel has
| sued 15 companies like Intellelectric with the word "intel" in their name.

Intel overwhelmed by EU complaints

| So many charges, so little time.

| Intel Chairman Craig Barrett appears overwhelmed by a European Union
| investigation into the company's actions. Earlier this month, European
| Competition Commission officials busted open Intel offices in Munich, hunting
| for documents related to alleged price fixing with retailers. That raid added
| to an existing EC investigation into Intel's business practices. Â Â

Intel: doing the dirty on OLPC
,----[ Quote ]
| Intelâs agreement with the OLPC Foundation included a ânon disparagementâ
| 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. Â
|
| 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. Â
| 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. Â
|
| 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.
