angry tapir writes "Advanced Micro Devices has announced that Dirk Meyer has resigned from the post of CEO, and that the company is beginning to search for a new chief executive. Meyer resigned in a mutual agreement with the board of directors, and the company has appointed Thomas Seifert, the company's chief financial officer, as the interim CEO. Meyer was installed as CEO in 2008 as a replacement to Hector Ruiz, just as the company was making its way out of rough financial times. In October, AMD posted a third-quarter net loss of US$118 million."

Are you seriously trying to compare a few poor design interface decisions like Bob and a Start button, with the greatest mass chip fuck up of all time? Maybe you should learn a sense of scale in regards to the magnitude of all time fuckups. I somehow don't think that Bob cost Microsoft $475 million dollars.
