Cringley on the Intel Settlement
I just subscribed to this blog, and it promises to be a good one. The whole posting is worth a careful read. If you don’t have the time, this summarizes it:
Roughly $2 billion in payouts and Intel is a free bird — a rich free bird at that — having proved that crime does pay.
These settlements will effectively pay for themselves in two months at current Intel profit levels.
I keep talking about the power complex, but all I get is blank looks. In this case, Intel and the FTC (and AMD and NVIDIA also) are part of the same complex. Everyone is scratching everyone else’s backs. Meanwhile, you-know-who is getting screwed.
No trackbacks yet.
