What the heck was the surprise? Nothing?

So, what was the big announcement? A denial of Barfelona problems? Crowing that AMD is actually doing better then has been reported all over the web? 

Or maybe just simply more B.S. talking points for web reporters?

That's no "surprise" at all

Hector Ruiz Named Top Innovator

CRN has named Hector Ruiz one of the Top 25 “Most Innovative Executives” of 2007. The article highlights execs who are focused not only on technology innovation, but also on true business innovation. 

Does driving your company into the ground count as innovation nowadays?

It can't be that lame shipping announcement, right guys? This feels kind of Michael Scottish.

F.A.B,s and real men wasn't that the THUNDERBIRDS..

Hector has just got back from India...now I wonder what he's been discussing over there ;)

Sunday IS the Sabbath. Sunday is the seventh day of the week. Monday is the START (the first day) of the week, which is why it comes AFTER the weekEND which includes Sunday.

There is an oooold poem which starts "Mondays child is...." and goes all the way through to "The child that is born on the Sabbath day is...". The Sabbath part comes after Saturday, meaning the Sabbath is Sunday. 

I don't know when America changed the way the week works, but keep it in your own country. Also, learn to spell (jurisdicktion (wtf), cheque, colour). If you say you speak English, at least get it right.

Are they going to amaze us with another dissapearing product "a la Paul Daniels!!!"

Oooh, I can't wait!

"It's Magic!!"

... so the day before monday is the sabbath where you are? what planet is that?? the SABBATH is the 7th day of the week & not the 1st (sunday). Any old calander will surfice to correct this mistake & if in doubt ask any Jew, they have been worshiping on the SABBATH for 4,000 years, so guess they would know.

Sunday is often called the LORDS DAY for the resurection as christ rose on the saturday evening (days were calculated sunset to sunset) so actualy the lords daywas actualy on saturday as well....

Look forward to AMD pulling one out of the hat, lets see if its worth the PR & if it will ship anytime soon as its close to xmas now.

Sunday keeping of (most) christian churchs began with the changing of the day by then early christian church at around 300ad by what was to be known as the catholic church. Prodestants for the most part kept the TADITION but its not the day mentioned in the bible anywhere, ever by anyone, inc GOD

Isn't the recently canceled November Analyst meeting coming up this week? (Tues?)

What a ko-in-key-dink!

Unless their surprise is to cancel the meeting on no notice...(again)

Is there anything related to this?

With analyst day on Thursday, good news on Monday seems unlikely. Unless of course there is too much good news to stuff into a single day with the analysts. The Monday news could be... a 3 for 1 stock split!

Oh, I guess you Brits don't fall under the jurisdicktion of the US courts, but you are trying to influence the trading activities of a US equity.

Why don't you screw around with Brit's own technology companies?

Oh, I remember, Brit's don't have crap. They can only talk about US companies...

Is it already first of April? I dont get it.

Hey, maybe they'll finally fire Hector for all his Great Achievements!
