The big mistake was not producing a flaw.
The big mistake was not doing adequate testing to discover it before
release.

Nuts! Old computer stores, like Best Buy, will buy up defective units and
be selling them as new for years......

Caveat Emptor.

Typical asinine reporting. There is *no date* on that article, Just
mentions of "Monday", "January" and "February" without even a mention of
*which year*.

I guess we can all ASSume that the article is current, but what kind of
sucky publisher puts out "news" articles without a date?

Oh wait, below the bottom of the article is the line

"Copyright 2011 The Associated Press."

Dumbasses.

Bull****. The AP has always marked their news with a copyright
notice and the date. If they didn't, it wouldn't stand up in court.

Here is the raw article, with the AP copyright notice. Do you see
any PHP?

span id="ctl00_phSubPageBody_lblContentBody" class="text"pSANTA
CLARA, California (AP) — Intel Corp. on Monday said it has found
a design flaw in a recently released chip, and is working with laptop
makers to replace affected computers./p
pSales lost while the company rushes out a replacement chip, and the
cost of replacing computers with the flawed chip, will cost the
company $1 billion, it said./p
pIntel said it's shipped 8 million of the defective chips, but
complete PCs with those chips have only been on sale since Jan. 9, so
"relatively few" of them have reached consumers. The main processing
chips in these computers are branded "Core i5" and "Core i7."/p
pThe affected chips aren't the main processors, which are based on
the so-called "Sandy Bridge" technology that Intel announced in
January, but a support chip. The flaw means it may degrade with use
over a period of months or years, slowing down the transfer of data to
and from the computer's hard drives and DVD drives./p
pIntel said consumers can "continue to use their systems with
confidence, while working with their computer manufacturer for a
permanent solution."/p

pIntel shares slid 25 cents to $21.21 in early afternoon
trading./p
pThe company said it has already started making a new version of the
support chip, and hopes to start delivering it to PC makers in late
February. While they wait for the new chip, production of computers
using Intel's "Sandy Bridge" chips will be on hold./p
pThe delay will reduce revenue by about $300 million in the first
quarter, Intel said. It put the repair and replacement cost at $700
million./p
pDespite the setback, Intel raised its overall revenue outlook for
the first quarter because of the recent acquisition of the phone-chip
business of Infineon Technologies AG. It also expects to complete the
acquisition of McAfee by the end of the first quarter./p
pIntel now expects $11.7 billion in revenue in the first quarter,
plus or minus $400 million. Its prior outlook was for $11.5 billion,
plus or minus $400 million./p
pIntel also said it expects revenue to grow by a mid- to high teens
percentage in 2011. It previously expected a growth of about 10
percent./p

pThe company said its gross margin — the profit made on each
sale, expressed as a percentage of overall revenue — will be
lower than its previous outlook as it will be taking a charge related
to the chip flaw./p
pIntel now expects its first-quarter gross margin to be 61 percent.
Its earlier outlook was for 64 percent./p
pFor the full year, gross margin is now expected to be 63 percent,
compared to the previous expectation of 65 percent./p
pShares of rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc. jumped 36 cents, or 4.8
percent, to $7.86 on the news. The stock has traded in the 52-week
range of $5.53 and $10.24./p

Yes, The PHP is applied on the server side and what the client
sees as a web page is the processed page rather than the original
PHP code.

Have you ever seen a raw newsfeed from the AP? I have, starting in
'73 as an engineer at a TV station. There was a copyright date on every
article. The only news service I've seen that didn't have one was the
military news wire that served Alaska.
