A highly regarded industry figure, Hester worked at Big Blue for 23-years before joining Little Green 2005.
A Little Green spokesman told the Journal that Hestor's departure was nothing to do with the recent job cuts or anything like that.
But that's the sort of thing spinners are paid to say isn't it? ยต

....hold on I'll come up with something......
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

So a pretty typical day at AMD i guess!
What took AMD so long? Hester presided over the ATI acquisition debacle, failed to deliver Barcelona, started and killed several projects, drove Stexar out of business, spoke loud and long about the wonderful future but did nothing to deliver it, alienated most of the technical staff at AMD, and delivered absolutely zero in his time at AMD. A master technologist? No. A master corporate politician and marketeer? Hardly.

And we're supposed to believe that he left without any hand on his collar showing him the door? Hmph.
Hey hey now... Why isn't the INQ sensationalizing this one much like other NV stuffs??? Where's our beloved mr DAAMIT salesman aka Charlie? He should've been censoring stuffs that will make a bad impression on DAAMIT... Puhleaaaseee mr DAAMIT salesman, do something about this!!!
but I'll be bettin he ain't the Jonah !

arrr
whats ur reason for leaving Phil? "I want to spend more time with my family" :P:P:P:P
