Intel Developer Forum Cheapzilla strikes again
RATHER THAN rely on reporters coming to see AMD after keynote speeches, the smaller chip company - known as Cheapzilla - had human bots in on the sessions.
We bumped into one of these human bots during the press Q&A after Paul Otellini's keynote speech last week, and presumably it had a presence at other IDF events as well.
So how do we know that the person we talked to was an AMD bot? The answer is that we were introduced to her, we recognised her, she told us, and we even had a conversation about meeting Cheapzilla during IDF.
We didn't meet AMD during last week's IDF except when we bumped into them by mistake.
Perhaps she had read our earlier story,
here, and that was why she was frantically scribbling notes onto that legacy substance known as paper.
Intel Security is supposedly pretty tight - but we rather think that it's pretty easy to slip in under the radar, particularly so if you pay the full whack to attend IDF under another guise. And it's hard to stop a spate of leaks when there's a deluge going on, as everyone with a defective roof knows during a tropical storm.
