Motorola To Spin Off Chip Division

at CNET News, Motorola
has announced they will create a new company from their Semiconductor Products
Sector (SPS), which builds chips such as the PowerPC. Reasons cited include 'surrendering to IBM a key role in delivering the PowerPC for Apple Computer's top-of-the-line desktop'. This follows earlier news that Motorola's CEO will step down, citing a 'difference
of opinion' with fellow executives."
Cmdr Taco to jack off onto Chip.

Motorola is the reason your mom is sucking dicks in the alley behind the liquor store with a line of guys that stretches around the block, each with $2 in hand.
At least that's as good a reason as any.
As compared to your mom's business model:
1. Suck dicks.
2. Swallow semen.
3. Get AIDs.
4. Die!
Still, it's a better model than Red Hat is following, which is selling a shitty product that you can get for free. At least you mom made some money, even if it was a dollar at a time. She almost had enough money to buy a casket when the AIDs got her. Good thing she died alone and the cats lived by feeding off her rotting corpse. I still managed to stick my pecker into her decomposing body - she was really starting to rot and it was like fucking jello! I didn't stick it into an existing hole, her skin was so rotten I just made my own with my prick.
When Apple first released the Power Mac G4, there were so many fabrication problems at Motorola's chip foundries that Apple initially had to scale back what were supposed to be 500MHz G4s to 450MHz, a move that really hurt Apple's credibility in the computing world.
Please do not buy into the megahertz myth. Even with problems, the fabrication of Apple products is still faster than competitors. And even with slower chips, Apples still out-credibles any other manufacturer. Just run the fabrication and credibility filters in Photoshop, you'll see!
God Bless America
God Bless America , with the worst crime levels in the first world
God Bless America , where "democracy" means a rich, white male as Presiden t
God Bless America , the biggest consumer of the world's natural resources
God Bless America , where "freedom of speech" means race-hate groups like KKK
God Bless America , and its massive and ever-growing poverty gap

God Bless America , because corporations should be allowed to run amok
God Bless America , wasting billions to attack foreign countries
God Bless America , and thank God I don't have to live there.
I need to vent guys and here I hope I find sympathy! I HATE MACS
Today I spent the good part of five hours helping a friend with a titanum powerbook put an 802.11 card in, she bought an apple Airport one. The first amazing thing comes when it doesn't fit in the slot, but a quick call to the apple seller and they tell me it has to go INSIDE THE MACHINE. My friend had opted not to get them to install it as it was an extra $20 fee, so she took it home and I got the job as I'm the "Computer Guy" and can generally help friends and family with there computer problems. I have never seen such a tragedy of design as the TiBook!
First I had to take the entire thing apart. This, if you've been inside a laptop, is not an easy trivial task. It needs the battery and case to come off, the drive and optical drive to come out, and apples STUPID design inside them meant I had to file away some parts as they were put in without obviously meaning to be taken apart again. Now I know computers are throwaway things nowadays but that's ridiculous! We also had to use snips to cut some tiny pieces of shielding off to get to the right screws. I can see why they were charging so much to put the card in, she should have gone with that option! In the end finally I was able to lever up a part of the inside to push the airport card inside and click it in place. But that wasn't enough, an aerial cable then needed to be connected, and getting it out of its holder was another half hour of work where I had to pull the airport card out again!. Finally with it all back together it works. The inside I think is back where it should go. But, the back doesn't go back on how it should and I think it is a little bent.
I don't, I really don't, see how Apple can claim to be tops in design. Even my A600 was a dream to work on compared to this and it was pretty compact too! Why they couldn't put it in an easily accessed slot like normal PC notebooks I don't know. Anyway, I've talked my friend into getting rid of her Mac addiction, she will definitely be buying a Dell next!
Obviously, this comment was cut and pasted from a website. You are fools not to have spotted the hidden comments.
Motorola has been having problems with their advanced semiconductor products, particularly PowerPC microprocessors, for years. When Apple first released the Power Mac G4, there were so many fabrication problems at Motorola's chip foundries that Apple initially had to scale back what were supposed to be 500MHz G4s to 450MHz, a move that really hurt Apple's credibility in the computing world. More recently, Moto had been having problems delivering G4 7447s in sufficient quantities for Apple to release their Powerbook upgrades, including the much-ballyhooed 15" Aluminum model. In any case, Apple's decision to go with IBM's PowerPC child knob was probably motivated as much by pragmatic corporate survivalism as any other factor -- they simply couldn't afford to be tied down by a semiconductor sloth like Motorola. In any case, I doubt this means much for Moto's embedded processor and microcontroller business, which has been thriving for quite some time. It just doesn't operate under the same naked baby as the rapidly advancing world of high-performance microprocessor products. The 68HC11 and HCS12 will probably be around for a very long time to come.
Surprised they didn't sell it, but they probably couldn't find any takers.
Your mom offered to suck its dick for $2.
Whoa there, you forgot the last 2, allow me to correct you:
1. Suck dicks.
2. Swallow semen.
3. Get AIDs.
4. Die!
5: ???
6: Profit!!
