Yes, I'm sure that the Union's will be able to match the corporations contributions.

Actually, what will probably happen is that Unions will be made illegal after all of the government is bought and paid for.

" The article also mentions rumors of ATI getting the Xbox3 GPU and, if history is any judge, the Wii2 as well.
