AMD Takes Case To Public, Japan
Kez writes "Following on from Tuesday's post on AMD filing a lawsuit against Intel in the U.S., Reuters is reporting that AMD is claiming damages against Intel K.K. in Japan, over the Japan Fair Trade Commission's recommendation that Intel has violated Japan's Antimonopoloy Act. They are seeking to claim $50million in damages in the High Court and have also filed for damages in the District Court. AMD continue to throw the punches, but will they come out on top?" At the same time, Rob writes "Computer Business Review is reporting that Advanced Micro Devices yesterday ran a
full-page advertisement in several major North American newspapers urging readers to
familiarize themselves with its 48-page
complaint against Intel Corp's alleged anti-competitiveness. By taking its case to the
people in this way, AMD arguably may pique investor interest and raise its market profile.
At the same time, these antics may however lead AMD into a precarious legal position."
Second, why don't you look a bit more closely at some of the campaign contributions of the Democrats? Let's not throw stones*. The corporations are not stupid, they pay out on *both* sides of the aisle...
(*) Unless, of course, you are a libertarian, and voted as such, then, by all means, throw stones!
If we lived in a perfect libertarian society there would be no need for corporations to give to politicians. We would all be running around in total anarchy fighting each other for food waiting for the "free market" to fix everything.
