totally forgot about S3

S3 cards would be the ideal solution for desktop makers as well. Those cheap enough to ship their desktops with 250 and 300watt psu's (like Acer and HP) would do well to stick a S3 Chrome 440GTX to give bluray playback and dx10 compatability.

Great - More laptops to avoid!

So let me see I now have to avoid laptops with Intels GPUs due to them being totally hopeless. Nvidia GPUs cos they fail and now S3 because...well they are S3.

AMD you really are missing a trick here! Start pushing hard, you are the best looking pig in town right now!

Hmmm

Seeing as how most of today's low-end, low power notebooks use graphics integrated into the chipset (which makes it kinda 'free'), I don't know why an OEM would want to use this. It only adds cost and eats up board real estate without dramatically improving performance. If S3 can offer a chipset with integrated graphics then they may actually sell one of these things.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
