Intel buys Nvidia!!!!!

THE HOT RUMOUR of yesterday was that Intel is buying Nvidia, some said last night, other said $37.

Digging in, no one had anything more concrete than a friend of a friend of my uncle's barber's nephew heard something.

The "deal" makes no sense to me, from products to antitrust to price, and there is little to recommend it. On top of that, the personalities and cultures involved go together like rabid weasels and sensitive body parts, nothing you would like in the same rough area of space at the same time.

The final nail in this particular coffin was people who should be on edge, working late and twitching when the phone rang were not doing any of those things. It was calm and peaceful in Silicon Valley yesterday. My guess it thumbs down on this one, but every time I say something like that, it happens. Whatever the case, I vote no here. And no, I am not wearing another rabbit outfit. µ
