I agree, but I'd draw the line at calling customers "gullible morons". I'd call them "desperate" more than anything. What's the worst this treatment could do? Kill you? You're dead already. These fraudsters should be exposed as the fraudsters they are, but I can't really blame their customers, because many are willing to try and pay just about anything if there's even a slim, outside chance it could give them even just a bit more time.
No, this is just more made-up garbage from Charlie, who has a massive history of made-up garbage. The only Fusion CPU with a low enough TDP to go into the MBA was the E-series, which gets raped silly by the ULV Sandy Bridge chips and might have a marginally faster GPU. Why the hell did this even make/.? I figure they'd be able to whiff Charlie's BS by now.
Nice dodge, dumbass. I'm pointing out that CS5 is ONE application. Did you see the rest of the CS5 suite? The i7 2600k soundly beats BD. Are you looking down on the rest of CS5? Yeah, no one ever uses Premiere, After Effects, or hell, any other software out there as the i7 tends to beat BD in 95% of it. Do you think that Photoshop is the only application people will ever use?
I hope for your sake that you're just a troll or a paid AMD astroturfer. Otherwise you have some painful deficiencies...
Early next year? Give me a break. AMD might have those out by the middle of next year. And yes, AMD's strategy is to keep adding more cores (which will be largely useless on desktop systems) because their per-core performance sucks ass. BD was a huge failure in that arena. What the hell is the point of a 12-core desktop CPU when most desktop users aren't going to significantly stress more than four of them (if that) at any given time?
So close = beats BD silly? Because I'm seeing it whomping BD in those benches, beating it by over 50% in some cases! Did you even read your own link? And you can astroturf all you want. It doesn't change the fact that BD's single-threaded performance suck dead goat ass.
So...two ordered...DOMINATION! Are you actually astroturfing for AMD's marketing department and getting paid or are you really this much of a desperate fanboy?
Cool cherry picking, bro. Too bad the 2600k spanks it silly in the vast majority of other tests. Keep clinging to one or two benches as proof of performance while the rest of us laugh at you. And you can't hit 5ghz on air with BD in typical cases. It'll eat enough power to run a small town. A 2600k can do that well enough without blowing your power bill through the roof.
It's always funny seeing AMD fanboys desperately clinging to Faildozer. Most of them had sense enough to realize what a joke it was.
What kind of moron would throw a still semi-decent computer in the trash? Sell it for $250 to recoup some of the loss. And who says it would end up in a landfill? I don't know about you, but my state has a recycling program. I can drop it off at Goodwill and it gets recycled.
Not true. I've seen local businesses put employees under non-compete and then screw them in court when they quit/get laid off and then try to find a job elsewhere in town.
Yahoo! Answers trumps Youtube comments by a mile. That site is a parade of some of the stupidest people to ever walk the earth. It's because of intellectual wastelands like Y!A that I wouldn't want crowdsourcing on ANYTHING that requires more than a shred of rational thought.
256kbps AAC = "crappy compress files"? Are you kidding me? Good luck ever noticing the difference between that and the CD unless you have a $10k+ sound system.
I'd say it's more a symptom than a cause. Autism tends to develop well before kids get into video games or the internet. However, folks who are autistic probably do spend a lot of time playing video games and getting on the internet.
It's one thing to stop selling music with a certain DRM scheme. It's quite another to tell customers that they won't be able to play it again. How this is even fucking legal is beyond me. Either keep your damned DRM server up or give users alternatives, ie, a legit way to strip the DRM or the exact same music in a different format.

You didn't take the blue pill?

Right, because Apple didn't buy Fingerworks and use multitouch to sue everyone else.

Yeah, but at $255 per dose? On a drug that hasn't even been tested? This has "corporate handjob" written all over it.
Yeah, because we never saw stories on that or heard plenty about it!
Oh, wait...
If he's a Mac user then he wouldn't be an AMD fanboy.
They went to court and lost, so I'd say so.

So new CPU, orders for the CPU come in, and that's domination? Come back when the SB Xeons hit and we'll see what happens.

And you haven't looked at any benches of SLI/XFire on SB-E. It's surprising how much better it does over other platforms with 2-3 video cards.
That's a server/workstation CPU. Intel will be pushing out 8 core SB-E Xeons early next year. Then you can start making comparisons.

Um...maybe because these aren't Xeons? They're high-end enthusiast chips. Xeons based on 2011 are due early next year.

Optional parentheses, optional semicolons...this is a neckbeard flamewar in the making.
