QuoteAMD Renaming ATI
After 21 years in the business, the ATI brand will soon be gone.
by Gerry Block

August 7, 2006 - AMD announced today that ATI's days are numbered. All future products developed by ATI will now ship under the AMD brand name, effectively ending 21 years of ATI brand-history.

AMD is reportedly anxious to assert that its ATI acquisition is a full take-over rather than a merger or partnership. What impact the decision will have upon deepening the AMD-AMD (ATI) vs. Intel-Nvidia divide remains to be seen.

Interesting.. Since Nvidia makes possibly the number one motherboard chipset for the AMD processor platform. We already know where Intel sits on this but Nvidia's position is less clear.

Yeah, um... I heard that Stephen Harper is actually an android, built after the great success of the Bushbot (junior -- senior is an alien lizard, more dangerous but harder to manipulate by the Pupper Masters).

Pass it on! ;D

The Bushbot (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3934788900154749704) has pilot problems at times.

YES!

I was hoping somebody would link to that... Brilliant, and unsurprisingly was the creative work of non-English-speaking geniuses ;D
