'Intel Inside' No More

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the motto-roulette dept.

Randall311 writes "The Inquirer is reporting that Intel is getting rid of its tagline 'Intel Inside' and plans to run a huge logo launch this January. Apparently the new logo has been seen in internal documents already. 'Intel Inside' has been with us since 1991. I guess now all thats left to update is the 'Idiot Outside' that doesn't know anything about using a computer."

    I guess this means the end to all the "Evil Inside", "Linux Inside", and "Intestines Inside" shirts and stickers.

    I thought those warning labels where required by law. Someone could accidently burn themselves, take down their local power grid, or pay big money for a slow turd.

    The Inquirer is reporting that Intel is getting rid of its tagline 'Intel Inside' and plans to run a huge logo launch this January.

    Exactly how big is this huge logo going to be? I thought computers were getting smaller, not bigger. Will it be like the XBox 360 and you'll have a "brick" sitting next to the machine just to display the intel logo?

    I know Intel wants to crush their competition, but this is ridiculous.

    Slashdot says they won't say "Intel inside" any more, so I would trust Slashdot as the authoritative source.

    Oh, come on. It's a million less times annoying than any jingle with lyrics. I mean you may get annoyed by it when you hear it, but at least you don't find yourself humming it all day long like ... oh I don't know like an annoying commercial jingle. The worst one over here in Japan is something for a fiber optic internet service. "Hikaru umi, hikaru sora, hi-ka-ru ma-n-shon". Gah! Drives me nuts. Just hearing one verse will get it stuck in my head all day. Damn, now wish I hadn't thought of that example.

    ... hikaru umi, hikaru sora ... da da dah dah da da da da.. Nooooooooo!

    Using the slogan "Like No Other" seems a little less wise when the uniqueness you have recently been pandering includes such things as illegally installing rootkits on users' computers, or painting graffiti illegally on city walls :-)
