nVidia/AMD Merger Announced

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the good-for-both-parties dept.

zombieking noted that AMD is merging with nVidia. The new company will be called AmVidia, and will be using non-MS operating systems exclusively to get around the problems they've been having with getting support from tier one OEMs.

  1. Re:ENOUGH APRIL FOOL'S ALREADY! by freeweed · · Score: 5, Informative

    How many April Fools stories do we need? Besides it's past noon here!

    You do of course realize that April Fool's day is precisely that... a DAY. The whole "it ends at noon" thing was just invented by teachers who were sick of losing an entire day of school due to pranks.

    Along similar lines is "Halloween ends at 8pm (or any time really)" started by a lot of small towns, to keep kids from wandering the streets all night.

    And no, this post ISN'T an April Fool's post.

    And yes, I don't think it's quite necessary to spend a whole day posting nonsense. The entire point of an April Fool's is that you can't automatically spot it.
