I think just posting a link involves the least amount of work possible. Copy and pasting the article and throwing quote tags around it its way too hard. Article definately was removed, but the title tells the entire story. No joke, the only thing you could add is that everyone is denying it or saying no comment. ---

Applied Materials rumoured to want to buy AMD Tunisia is a-buzz, Daammat By Charlie Demerjian in Las Vegas: Monday 23 April 2007, 14:45 ONE OF THE HOT rumours floating around is over the sale of AMD. No, not the PE one from last week. This one has Applied Materials (AMAT) buying the firm out. Now, wouldn’t that be interesting? Both AMD and AMAT have denied it vigorously with a confused ‘no comment’, but we were not expecting anything more. The tie-up makes a bit of snese, and if true, and it is only a rumour right now, it may portend a falling out between AMAT and Intel. Keep an eye on both companies in the coming weeks, this one has more depth than the usual ones. ---

It’s posted for everyone’s discussion, I don’t have an opinion either way. In addition to that, half of your posts, Jimbo are telling people how stupid their posts are, it wasn’t just this that made me decide to warn you. ---
