AMD To Shed 10% of Its Workforce 276

stress_life writes "Recent rumors about AMD firing 5% of its workforce proved to be understated. AMD just announced that the company is going to deliver pink slips to 1600-1700 workers, or around 10% of its employees. AMD needs revenue of $2 billion per quarter, but Q1'08 is expected to come in around $1.5 billion. These firings have to be complete by Q3'08, the quarter by which Hector Ruiz promised to be profitable." We most recently discussed AMD's struggles in February.

Interesting.. Actually, recently I was watching the television and I saw some man who took pictures of his wife while she was pregnant. Not just her wife.. but her baby as well and says his pictures are art. His 'art' shows various pictures of the baby and when he was basicly mush to when he looked like a human. The pictures also show rejected sperm attempting to get into the sperm.

Journal Journal: Mountain Dew - Input on it

Mountain Dew
Mountain Dew is a very fine beverage indeed. It can be found in many dining choices and vending machines. It has a decent amount of caffiene and even has a recycle advirtisement on the lable. However, it loses points because it has a football tailgate on it.

Comment Re:The Entitlement Generation (Score 1) 674

Where there are no more CD's to buy (as you assert that music should be free), how do I support the artist if I want to? Remember, my closet is too full of t-shirts, and almost all of the musicians I like do not tour, or live overseas, or at least on the east coast. Send them money! If you really want to pay the artists, pay them yourself. $5 for all the songs from a cd is better than what they would be getting paid now by the record companies. Or, you could pay them a dollar or two per song that you download. Even though not everyone who downloaded their songs would do this, they would still make a profit. They would only need about 1 in 41 people to actually pay for the cd to make just as much as they would from distributing their music through record companies
