Nvidia clamps down on leaks

Psst... Slides next week

SO, WHAT DO you do when you are an Nvidian and you don't want your G80 slides leaking all over the net? Simple, you don't give them out, and you plan even more cunning ways to clamp down for editors day '07.

In case you haven't noticed, the clampdown failed pretty miserably, but hey, they had to try. That said, there are no slides being given out until next Thursday, but we aren't supposed to know that either. The interesting thing is what it is planning for next year.

Since no slides allowed the information to leak out by text, email and phone, that will be clamped down on in the next go around. The cunning plan here is to stop it at the source - fingers. Each attendee of Nvidia's editors' day will be issued a pair of wire cutters, and be kindly asked to remove all fingers and finger-like extremities in the vain hope of keeping information in check. We are told there are no plans to change any slides though.

When it is clear that this does not help, our spies have been trained in ways to deal with this, editors' day '08 attendees will be issued tongs to help with tongue removal. We are at a loss to explain how Nvidia will expect people to do this without fingers though. 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?
