AMD Papers Over Free Wi-Fi Network Builders
Glenn Fleishman writes "It's been widely reported in the last week that AMD, Intel's processor competitor, was launching a free hotspot network. It's come out, in reporting we just posted at Wi-Fi Networking News, that AMD has built this network by calling existing free hotspots and asking if they'd put stickers in their window. This might be fine: stickers and the label "AMD HotSpot" in exchange for promotion. However, in Austin several local wireless activists say that AMD has put their hotspot decals up in stores without the stores' permission, including at locations operated and supported by Austin Wireless City and Austin Unleashed. Guerrilla marketing gone overzealous? Or an attempt to seize the credit without paying for it?"
'Hot' Hotspots?
...sticking it to the competition.
No kidding. What I really don't understand about vegetarians and vegans is this: If God didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them 1. out of meat and 2. absolutely delicious.

Ok gang, it's payback time! Here's how it goes down:
- get a bunch of those "AMD HotSpot" stickers (unused or by removing them from the windows of premises)
- strategically stick them on your pants right over your privates
- display them proudly like a Ralph Lauren runway model.
That will get them the kind of publicity they don't need.If God didn't want people to eat people, Why did he make them 1. out of meat and 2. absolutely delicious?
We're not sure... but we think it's Intel's fault...

I think you mis-spelled chimp....
"Or does someone have the stickers? If you don't see them go up, you have no idea who actually is responsible."
If this story were about Microsoft, would this question be asked?
Nope, because it would be us evil Linux users who were abusing the stickers.
