    Watch the RAMBUS litigation machine swing into overdrive, now that they can't even pretend to make things...

      And they do actually make things...

      Nah. Rambus has exactly three divisions - the research department, the licensing department, and the extortion...err, legal department... ;)

    They should boycott DDR ram memory in protest
    against the terrible human rights situation in
    communist East Germany.

    Buying DDR RAM is supporting the communists!

      Screw you, capitalist satan pig-dog! Not only will I proudly use DDR memory, but I insist my Athlon processor be made in the Dresden fab.
