Same old stuff...

Every time Intel thinks AMD's newest offering is going to pound on an Intel product the cry foul.

Email not displaying for you? RTFM....

Stupid Sender

Assuming Intel was the sender of this mail message...

If this is a case of a problem with an HTML-encoded mail message, then it is Intel's fault!

If Intel wants to get a message out, then it is their responsibility to ensure that the message can be read, not the receiver's responsibility. The most common standard is plain ASCII text, without any encoding. Every SMTP/POP/IMAP based e-mail software can handle that.

HTML-encoding of mail messages is only good for phishing, distribution of malware, and exposure of the sender's attitude and lack of security awareness.

If Intel had chosen to send a message in Chinese or Klingonese to an English speaking audience, then even people like Rik would have understood the problem.

Let me help the author --

View -- Message Body As -- Original HTML

You have it set up on Plain Text.

Intel is hardly the only email that wont show up for you correctly Mr. Author.

I hit the site and sent myself a press release just fine. Received and viewed with Thunderbird. Would you like a screen shot?

Go ahead and email me if you need any more tech support.

Moblin is not a distro

Moblin is neither a major linux competitor nor a distro.
It remains in the hopeware drawer.

Ha

How petty and insecure M$ and Intel must be feeling to resort to such silliness as sending email unreadable to everything except Outlook

rik.........

I do agree that this isn't very news worthy, but don't diss the software, from the window icon it's Mozilla's Thunderbird (email client) which has been downloaded and used millions of times over.

its now news worthy but someone has to shout I suppose. and yes if Intel did though this through this should have tested against.

Not a worthy article

This article was a complete waste of your time. In fact, it was a waste of my time even responding to it.

Mr.

Did you really just write that whole article, making wild speculations and accusations about Intel because you use some crappy news reader? How is this Intel's fault?

Cmon now... This article is simply about some news reader you think is swell that doesn't work on some web page.

Wow! Welcome to the Internet 2009.

Hardly news.

Special font

I think the font they used is stupid-proof, because I don't see anything written there either :(

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?
