    I've been an AMD man for many years. I like to support the underdog. Besides you get a lot more for your money with an AMD chip. #intelantitrust

    Yay for the government. I prefer AMD over Intel because I can get great performance very cheaply, but I concede that Intel trounces AMD's processors. If I could I would build/buy an i7 rig but I don't have that kind of money. All that being said I have an iMac and a Macbook Pro both with Intel processors. #intelantitrust

    @szrimaging: And then people buy more AMD, AMD will get more money to research more and we get faster processors without Intels douchebaggery. Yay government! #intelantitrust

    @Bluecold: The problem is, people are sheep to the marketing mainstream. As long as Intel is the "brand name" people will still buy them over the "untrustworthy value option". Not to mention, anyone who is a performance freak will work on getting the better chip, so AMD better hurry up and do a leap frog.

    I, for one, am going Intel in the next build because AMD can't compete when building a high-end photo/video rig. #intelantitrust

    @szrimaging: And what if you can get 2 Opteron's on a server board with loads of RAM for the same price as a single i7 setup? You'll get the Opterons because they combined are faster. #intelantitrust

    It's essentially the same relationship Bill Gates had with Apple back in the 80's. What Microsoft exploited (And now Google is going to exploit) is the outside competing interests that Apple doesn't work with. Bill Gates knew where the money was and he knew that if he made software that ran on machines made outside of Apple he had plenty of money to be made.

    Apple does everything in house and it's both a blessing when it works but a curse when an outsider exploits them by taking their genuis to other companies where there is more money to flow. Apple made their OS, Bill Gates went to IBM with his and now Windows runs on 90% of computers. Apple makes their Iphone and Google creates Androd which multiple companies are picking up, not just one. It might not show now but if Andorid continues to gain momentum down the road it may be the defacto OS on most smartphones and market share means a lot.

    It's not really a loophole if it's expressly stated and the company's operation fits directly within the terms set forward by the law.

    @zeroprime: The issue is that the law was written at a time when Google quasi-free business model didn't exist yet. It's not clear how to apply a law written to bust up commodity companies to a digital giant like Google. They've erred on the side of whatever works for them.

    In reply to AMD to Intel: Nyah Nyah Nyah Nyah Nyah
    This was found on Intel's page:



    Dear EU:

    Suck it!


    And way to ripoff a certain superpower with your lame-o flag with 13 stars. What's the matter? Not enough brainpower in that League of Nations to come up with an original idea.


    AMD: How does it feel to be as successful as Cyrix?


    If you all need us, you can come Stateside and suck our collective fat one.


    keep on keepin' on...

    Intel Corporation

    (the company that makes most of the microprocessors in the computers that people actually want)


    Not exactly gracious but, when you're that big, you can afford brass balls the size of the Grand Tetons.

    Seeing as monopolies are not beneficial to anyone, this should help the Personal computer market. Of course if AMD doesnt step it up than nothing will happen and we will all continue to use Intel simply because that is our only choice.

    @eagles3_Wants NASA money to afford college.: Monopolies do kind of help the monopolists, which is why big companies will strive to become them, despite the rules against it.


    Sometimes monopolies even help consumers, which is why the government will occasionally allow them to develop, usually for emerging technologies. For example, a national telephone company was a gov't sanctioned monopoly that helped establish national telephone service in its early years. Domain registration was initially a gov't sanctioned monopoly that helped grow the internet.

    Don't laugh. I can assure you Apple's almost certainly got a whole legal team working up defense strategies in case the EU decides to go after the iPod's near monopoly in the HD based digital music player market.

    So I guess Vizio sets will cost $2.50 more going forward. I can swing that.
