Kroes to Intel: Abide the Law!

European Antitrust Commissioner Neelie Kroes tells Intel to abide the law after she announced a record $1.45 bln fine for Intel, for abusing its dominant market position by giving rebates to PC manufacturers who agreed to delay the launch of AMD-based PCs.

What a stupid little bureaucrat. I worked for Intel during that period - shipped products to Europe - dealt with the distributors. I saw nothing like that happen. AMD was struggling to produce products that were a generation behind. That is why the AMD products didn't get launched on time. Also, they had severe heat dissipation problems. Finally, AMD didn't assist motherboard manufacturers to prepare for new processor integration. That is why AMD was behind. Stupid little bureaucrat.

@GM3210 That is not going to happen. Countries in the EU are far too divided for such.

I just favourited the vid :p

Fuck the EU(the concept not the countries)......it's just one step towards a unified American continent and then a one world government.......fuck that shite.

The ban on the death penalty/use of lethal force remains BUT with three exceptions :

1.Self-defence.

2.Police.

3.May be re-introduced during `times of war or to subdue a riot or civil upheaval ´.

Please do your homework before insulting strangers.

The planned European Defence Force also intends to work illegally outside of the UN Charter !

Every vote in the European UNION elections is a vote for the Lisbon treaty/constitution,something the French,Dutch & Irish VOTED AGAINST.

[Spenner56]

Abiding by EU law ALSO means

1.NOT criticising the EU or it's institutions (European Court of Justice ruling,case 274/99).

2.Rioting and civil ' upheaval ´ during time of war is punishable by death (amendment to the European Charter,article2,passage2c : google Prof.Schachtschneider).

3.Under the Lisbon Treaty/constitution any state not willing to `continually upgrade it's military´will also face punishment.

Just say no (like the French,Dutch & Irish).

Don't VOTE in June's EU elections.
