AMD channel 'shafted for the likes of Dell'

What a laugh. It never ceases to amaze me the number of people who don't get it. Here is my response to the writer.

1. Mispellings.
Do you REAlLy think that a organization as large as the INQ, doesn't have a spell checker? here's a hint. Try reading the tabloid it is "modeled" after.

2. Misleading story intros.
Same hint as above.

3. Often quote Euro costs without Dollar costs.
Err, it's a EUROPEAN website. See any Europeans complaining when CNN only reports rices in $$?

4. Seldom link Anandtech important articles.
Anandtech? Important? Not for a VERY long time. A biased are we?

5. Humor is sometimes off base.
Only if you are humor impaired.

6. Clicable links seldom lead you to what you might expect.
See response to number 5.

Keep up the great work Mike and Company. The logic impaired will always fail to see the forest for the trees.

Subject:: AMD price cuts

'More worryingly for AMD, sources close to its channel partners tell the INQ there are still problems on allocation which aren't making them happy bunnies. Yesterday AMD's share price fell by over 50 cents on rumours of the move. µ'

Nobody cares about the channel as long few T1's are happy. AMD is almost driven by OEM's and they make changes to the processors(not all of them though obviously, guys from Dell ain't the smartest types you'll ever meet).

Feeding the channel is ok when T1's they are not hungry anymore.

SUBJECT: EA Games Quality

I agree with the review marks.

Having both The Godfather and completed all of the NFS titles, the latest stuff if very poor. Scarface is very funny and captures the mood of the Pacino film much better than the Godfather could for it's own series of films.

NFS: Carbon is little more than an expansion pack; taking a few afternoons to finish, and losing all of the hillbilly charm of NFS : Most Wanted. No Josie Maran either :-(

EA has a captive audience with their bovine money makers.

SUBJECT: Mispellings make INQ good enough

Tell Canmir that mispellings are what I like the most in INQ articles, I won't bother visiting INQ if there aren't mispellings in it (it'd be just another boring news site) regards,

Subject: Porsches and 'real' Porsche owners

Hi,

The problem with 911 owners is that they think the world revolves around them (it does, but it's a handling problem really). My 928 is a 'real' Porsche, unlike the VW-based 356/911 series that has taken so long for the engineers to get technology to counter the design problems. Always great fun when these religious types show up... The 928 was the first car that J. Clarkson ever crashed on camera... Chris M

Subject: Why the INQ is not so good

Much like any comments article I read here, I get a good laugh out of the heavily biased crying that people send to you. Keep up the good work guys.

Subject: The letters for today

I think some writers had good ideas here. I would prefer some USD values at least for most of the Euro and Pound ones so it's easier to convert the cost rather than saying, ~.5 USD/Pound and ~1 Euro/USD.

Yes, there are a lot of mispellings, that is correct, but I seldom see misleading article titles, it's more just fun article titles.

Subject: Stocks and inq

one of your readers wrote:

"Whoever said that the Inq can be a guide to stocks is absolutely right. After reading all of your coverage of the daamit aquisition, it was pretty obvious to me that on the morning of the announcement, ATI would open substatially higher than the previous day. And it did- it went from something like 16 dollars to 19.. someone could have made a lot of money off of that, because apparently no one on wall street reads the Inq.

When buyouts are announced after hours and a set price is given ... say 19 or whatever by the acquiring company the stock will in 99.9999% of situations jump up to almost that exact price.

so really a person would have been unable to do anything since the stock would 'gap up' to the buyout price.

but i will agree that the inq is a great place to read on possible things going on in the real world and believe me wall street does read the inq.
