nVidia's CEO recently had this piece of fool's gold for everybody.
“We’re all trying to figure out what a netbook is. From my perspective, anything that has an X86 processor and has Windows running on it is really a PC”
Huh? Aside from being the industry's only profitable product in the current economic climate. The incredibly mobile form factor and the attractive pricing range... Sure, a netbook is just like your PC, the same way that a mainframe is just another 'PC'.
Here I was thinking to myself, Jen-Hsun Huang can't be stupid since he is CEO a company that lives by innovating on the cutting edge. On closer look nVidia has yet to make any money from the netbook craze. And now he drum up plenty of FUD to avoid begging Intel to give him a ticket on the last lifeboat.
That leaves his remarks as disappointingly dishonest from an intellectual viewpoint. He knows full well the importance of netbooks otherwise he wouldn't be so enthusiastic about the 'Ion' platform. His style of sales pitch is repulsive to the neutral observer.
