    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

    Great, now chip prices go up again because Intel has to cover the costs of all the lawyers. Thank you government for screwing us over.... #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

    I hate games like this. they always severely underestimate the popularity, and the servers become toast.

    Update from the Blog:

    "For all the people asking about launch times, sorry to keep you up at night. We're just putting in the finishing touches and will make sure all of you know when it's live. Right now, my watch says to check back at 6pm GMT / 1pm EST on Wednesday 9th September. If we get it any earlier you'll be the first to know."

    @GalenAlexis: Actually, since this is Monopoly the starting world will be blank so any street in the world could become the most expensive depending on how you construct it.

    Although it may be a good idea to snag those places first to sell them later at a profit because everybody else will be googling "most expensive streets"

    Directly from the blog:

    "Q - How do I register?
    A - To register, begin by searching for the street you wish to buy. This can be done through the welcome screen which a user is prompted with or by clicking on the 'Search' icon in the bottom navigation.

    Once the street information has been searched then a selection of streets will appear for the user to choose from based on the area. Once the desired street has been selected the user will be prompted with a property deed card with the opportunity to 'buy' the street. Clicking on the buy button will prompt the registration panel, follow the simple instructions for registration to create a profile and begin playing the game."

    @ValerianElipticate: I don't get it. It still doesn't say where you go to actually play this. It doesn't seem to be part of "Google Maps" because when I go to google maps it's just normal google maps. Does anyone have a link to where you can actually register and play?

    There is no free parking in real life.

    Also, where in the world would someone land that would send them to jail (without passing go and collecting $200, of course)?

    @Margatron: I've found plenty of free parking for baseball games in the middle of Baltimore City. It just involves knowing what meters run out when and having the balls to walk through Baltimore back to my car at 11 or 12 at night.
