INVESTORS ON A YAHOO board are wondering just how Nvidia will justify pulling in a famous porn star at a party held at the E3 games show recently.

A number of investors in the Yahoo investor board here and here have expressed their surprise that Nvidia paid for a lady called Catalina to turn up at a party.

At the same party, Nvidia hired Smashmouth to play the music.

One investor said: "God is it possible that its shareholders who were paying for this mascarade (sic) with pornstar, bar open and pricy rock star band?".

Another said: "Some came to see, some came to be seen. It is a huge alarming sign for all investors. If porn whore runs NVDA corp parties and I'm shorting more stock".

Another commented: "At least the employees are having fun. Oh, and compensated".

But one investor said: "Just for the record, ATI had Smashmouth at their Siggraph 2001 party. Looks like Nvidia is playing catch-up for the second time this year". µ

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?
