Buy AMD

They make their chips here. Instead of investing billions, with a B, in Taiwan, Mexico and Isreal, how about we invest in America?

Nothing against Israel, they have their share of startups and I know Checkpoint is an Israeli company.

by awassan December 3, 2005 11:33 PM PST: Really its looks weird when you say that in Israel & seems funny as well, still Microsoft has time to change the decision! someone says "If you plan to invest then why dont u invest in a desiring market" i think this is a nice Question fair enough to understand lets think again a huge!!! does it make any sense in Israel? people will stop buying intel chips bcoz of Israel, Like mostly Middle Easterns. (I bet this will happen. It will absolutely effect the market); Like this Reply to this comment

Engineers per Capita
by RJT69 December 4, 2005 12:57 PM PST: Isreal may have the highest percentage of engineers per capita of any nation on earth. Like it or not, at least in America, you would have a very tough time finding a dumb Jew. The Centrino, the best chip for portable laptops was developed in Isreal, so this is to reward the Centrino team.
Since Madrasas do not turn out intellectuals, Pakistan will not be getting an Intel plant. Instead of blaming everything on Isreal, look inside.; Like this Reply to this comment
