Spies Like Us

LOL. What a joke. I'd say DAMN has no one to blame but themselves that fiered all that people. But by US law that pricky unlawful suits of former employees are just legal and decent thing to do. In the end all lies on that who has more money AMD or nVidia ... so Gargantua with more money in their pockets always win. So the only legal thing to settle this case is if AMD bancrupt and the suit goes underground with them or nVidia will need to pay them off. This development seems unfair to me and it pretty obvious reason why is such shark practice trained on US market.

Yet still, it's in our fresh memories how does poor stupid AMD settle with Intel suing them in long term case on claims that Intel gently bribed dealers to promote their chips in supply line ower AMDs in the age when Intel P4 architecture sucks hypos colonic acme.

And after all where is DAMN now after these deal has been settled original Bulldozer delayed for only two years to favor AVX over AMDs SSE5 ....

So this wannabe news is a just a poor mans bad joke.

Vanakkuty I believe he is referring to the reference that was briefly used after the ATI merger with AMD of DAAMIT (being an amalgamation of the initials).

I hope in addition to the civil lawsuit that criminal charges are filed against these people. There is a price to pay for industrial espionage and these folks should be held accountable on all fronts.

AMD never assures any employee a lifetime position at the company.
BUT, what they do require are non-disclosure agreements as well as ownership of all intellectual property created by it's employees during their employment and for a finite period of time after leaving.

These ex-AMD employees should be taken to task for what they have done. They surely would not have done this while working for AMD since they know it would not benefit AMD or their job security.

Take them to court, and require the return of all information.

Then take Nvidia to the SEC and scour their files.

When you think about it, would you feel comfortable hiring people capable of stealing sensitive files and documents from their former employer? I'm pretty sure that they knew the risks and possible consequences but choose to take the risk anyway.

What do you think will happen the day that they'll find another opportunity?

Did Nvidia offer them a position expecting such actions? Being a fan of their product I honestly hope it's not the case.
