Focusing on the Sega thing was quite odd, in my opinion. Although certainly a blunder, they didn't even mention some of their really bad business decisions:
* Buying what's-their-face, the graphics board manufacturer, in order to gain market share. A neat idea, except when you consider that requires moving from a high-margin business to a low-margin one, and the company didn't even have the OEM presence required to pull it off.
* Thier insistence on focusing on 3D-only chipsets, rather than buckling down and making an integrated 2D/3D solution that actually worked.
* Thier failure to design a chip with T&L capabilities, instead focusing all their efforts on the laughable T-buffer.
* Purchasing Gigapixel based on Xbox rumors. Yes, Gigapixel was in the running for it, but many people believe Microsoft was just trying to put pressure on nVidia and Gigapixel was really just a fallback

But the hot French Maid should definitely be part of the cast.
