Intel not nappy with antitrust verdict

Caption competition Ooh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
Friday, 15 May 2009, 17:41

WITH THE WINNERS of last week's competition having just been announced, we move on to this week's caption contest.

With more than a whiff of antitrust in the air this week, we wondered whether INQ readers could come up with a suitably childish caption for the following pic:

Seb

And no, "Intel, euro baby, quit snivelling" won't really cut it! We antitrust you to do much better than that!

Winners to be announced next Friday.µ

EU Antitrust

The EU antitrust committee, was thrown in to dissaray last night as wikileaks reveals their selection process for the winner in AMD's antitrust complaint against intel.

In a press release, Germany, the worlds newest totalitarian state said "We told you so".

Pretty soon Intel will pull the wool over our eyes and change the platform from a bottle to the natural, round sweet sweet nipple weilding source and all will be forgotten. MAMA!

And a song that wins the prize is...

Another one is green
Feeding time is due
And our patience is running thin

'tis some sort of screwed battle
That's not beneficial for the cattle
Intel doesn't get to make the rockets
But the bankers line their pockets

Poor AMD still gets no money
So 'tis not their milk and honey
Proof of a democracy?
Just a plain old hypocracy

Intel's formula not working anymore.

You can't see it in the picture but on the back of the baby's diaper the logo Intel inside is giving the company a whole new image.

for years they tried to sour the AMD formula with back room deals and intimidation but despite AMD's own blundering of the last couple of years the Little Engine That could seems to be doing it again and putting Intel in perspective while doing it .

kudos to AMD and their new international image they took the sucker punch from the big bully on the block and came back swinging .

The Milk Wars

Be a good boy Joey, said aunty, trust the EU and drink your approved milk.

The EU stole my boobies and gave me these two plastic bottles instead. They said that aunty trusts me to make the right decision.

So if I drink the blue one aunty won’t trust me anymore?

WOT! No eyebrows. Can you guess which bottle baby has been drinking from?

The EU has just announced the results of independent trials on two new milk products. The researchers found that the new Intel super blue milk formula can interfere with the production of a growth hormone responsible for normal hair formation in infants, but if taken by adults it would reverse the ageing process and leave the victim with no body hair at all. A small number of victims were also found to develop an antitrust mentality which resulted in them not being able to make logical, sensible decisions based on the facts at the time. The trials were carried out on 1,000 bankers from all regions of the world between 2004 and 2008.

The commission also gave the seal of approval to the competing AMD milk formula and advised that people under the age of 64bits should not consume the Intel super blue milk formula. Anyone over the age of 64bits should choose life but were reminded of a very rare side effect of the Intel formula displayed in very old people. Intel discovered this side effect when conducting their original internal trials in the late 1990’s. Three men from the marketing division, all aged over 128bits, developed the condition which turned their skin blue as well as displaying all the other side effects. They are now better known as the Blue Man Group and can be found on-line at www.blueman.com. Some of their work at Intel can still be seen on YouTube.

So, to sum up, if you don’t want to end up blue in the face, bald as a coot and thick as two short planks, drink EU approved AMD milk formula.
