Hope this doesn't lead onto a Intel/Nvidia alliance though....

That's exactly the kind of uneducated, nonsense-spewing article that makes the Register completely unbelievable.

Even if their facts are correct (and we have no corroboration for that), this isn't a news article - it's a gossip column.

*sigh* Oh, well. I'm done now. Doesn't ANYONE know what a real newspaper is?

That's what makes The Register so fantastic! They have the guts to publish rumours all the time... if the article gets disproven, then it'll be taken down and they'll let you know.

Isn't that a pile of faxes? Oh no, that's called a book.

So probably it is a pile of printed out emails

Steve,

The problem is that if you publish rumours all the time, people can't take you seriously anymore.

And you can't call yourself a "news" source.

Sensationalism sells, but it also gets you a bad reputation. Like a certain famous New York City newspaper, which is now widely regarded as a worthless rag due to its flagrant sensationalising and rumour-mongering.

I assume we are talking about the Post. Thank you Rupert Murdoch. I'm sure Alexander Hamilton continues to spin in his grave.

You're welcome.

I mean, when the Register shares more in common with The Onion than with a real news source, you have to stop and wonder.

It's not funny enough to make me read it for humor, and it doesn't contain enough real information to make me read it for news.

So what kind of site is it?

- Gurm

[Jorden]

Possibly not your site, Jason

Possibly not something a sane MURCer would linger on, or get his/her rumors from

Then again, it's always a good laugh.

[Gurm]

Oh, I know Jorden.

If it's what floats your boat, fine. But please PLEASE don't post ANYTHING from the Register as "news", and expect anyone to take it seriously.
