Nvidia to Buy ULI Electronics
Steve from Hexus writes "In a move that has taken the technology market by surprise, graphics card and chipset manufacturer Nvidia has announced its intention to buy ULI Electronics, Taiwanese chipset designer and maker: 'NVIDIA openly recognizes that a large proportion of chipset innovation happens in the Far East where ULi is based and that is one of the things that makes ULi an attractive proposition. The move is seen by many as good sense on NVIDIA's part as its own in-house chipset makers are based solely in the USA. ULi, in contrast, has relationships with chipset makers in Taiwan and China, as well as in San Jose.'"
The next technology is to have two GPUs on one card! What they don't tell you is, that the second GPU is wasting all of its time its not in a game running a botnet to factor NSA passwords..
Job? I don't have time to get a job! Who will sit around and bitch about being broke and unemployed then?
It says right there in the article that they plan not to make their products better, ever again. I think it's a bad move for the company.
Also... what the hell are you talking about?
oh wait....
I have one also and think its great. This is a big move for nVidia. I wonder if they can SLI their factories?
Purple, because ice cream has no bones.
The fascist Clinton and Bush families are all part of the illuminati, my friend. Please understand that the very air and water you consume is being tainted from their machines on their moon base. Fight the mind control. Drink distilled, not filtered. Spend at least two hours each day 25 miles outside a city to breath the untainted air. Bleed yourself one pint each week to cleanse yourself from the nanobots inserted into fresh carrots at the grocery store.
It's all there, my friend. I plan on living on an island eating seafood and scraping my underside with sea shells. Your average roll of Charmin is infected with various gene altered cow viruses. Use tree leaves and college ruled paper instead. You, my friend, are all part of the experiment. I for one will have no part of it. The Bush and Clintonian puppeteers are eating our babies. Please, vote libertarian.
For a moment I thought they were going to a pull 3Dfx by making their own cards and killing their market.
I had a job interview for a QA position at 3Dfx about six months before it went under. I was shocked that the marketing department was calling the shots instead of the engineers. After that Dilbert experience, I didn't want to work there. Of course, asking the marketing hack why I should be interviewed by him when I was applying for a technical position probably didn't help.
Someone needs a refresher in logic.
Come to think of it, a large proportion of desktop operating systems are developed in the United States where ChaosDiscordOS is based - and that is one of the things that made ChaosDiscordOS an attractive proposition. Anyone want to buy full rights to my operating system, ChaosDiscordOS*? I figure $10,000,000 is a reasonable price, since it's so attractive.
* Warning: Operating system may consist of nothing more than an ugly logo thrown together in the GIMP and a main.c file that contains, "/* TODO: Write operating system */"
