Nvidia school teacher raps online journalists' knuckles

ONLINE HACKS that went to some gig Nvidia organised have been roundly whacked by spinners at the firm for leaking details meant to be under a non disclosure agreement (NDA).

A round robin was sent to the journalist attendees telling them that Nvidia Central takes a very dim view of leaks, which are not helpful, and not very clever.

The screed, according to one hack that got sent it, runs thus:

Hi all, someone that attended this morning's nForce 500 session sent the entire presentation to the folks at TechPowerUp, who posted the deck this afternoon. We know it was from today's session, as we modified some of the slides specifically for this morning.

I'm not sure what your motivation is for doing this. But I can't tell you how dissappointed [sic] I am that you think this is some sort of game and that you somehow think this is professional or in any way, a winning thing to do.

We are all affected by this: NVIDIA, you, your site, and your readers.

These sorts of actions are only creating anomosity between us and you and between Web sites in general. Sites that do this sort of thing are not people we want to work with. Now, or in the future. In fact, given the spate of NDA information being posted and disseminated by sites such as TechPowerUp, the Inquirer and DailyTech, this is forcing us to reconsider the way we deal with the online community as a whole.

We trust that you want to work with us and have access to information before everyone else.

Today, that trust was broken. And for what?

Sad.
