AMD to cut 1,000 - Intel to cut 1,000

Geode go bye-bye

Thu Jul 13 2006, 08:23

RUMOURS REACH us that AMD is going to cut about 1,000 jobs today. The affected are the Geode people, formerly of National Semiconductor, and the Colorado center where they worked may be closed as well.

It is sad to see this happen, and wish them luck on their trip to (Brian) valHalla.

Other rumours suggest Intel may lose 1,000 jobs on Thursday. Neither firm was available for comment at press time. 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?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
