Dan, I see The Matrix is rewriting itself. "Whoa ... deja vu!"

<Intel will also go from mostly selling chips that cost it $20 to make to mostly selling chips that cost it $50 to make.>

The Matrix once said there was no way Intel could ever make each chip at $20 a pop. Now The Matrix is saying that Intel has been doing it for quite a while, but in the near future, some major catastrophe will cause that cost to rise by a factor of 2.5.

<At this rate, AMD can go on forever, adding a new $3 Billion FAB every 5 years, while reporting zero profits.>

The Matrix once convinced the 'Droids that substantial profits are in the bag. Now The Matrix is saying that AMD really doesn't need the profits.

I remember two other times in recent history when The Matrix rewrote itself. The first time was the X-Box deal, and the second time was Compaq's announcement last week. Now The Matrix is rewriting itself again, blinding its human captors once again to reality, while the machines continue to feed off the energies of those unsuspecting humans.

One of my favorite parts of that movie is when the traitor (whatever his name was) was eating a juicy steak as he was making the deal with the Agent. He knew the steak wasn't real, and he knew that the sensations are just signals being fed to his brain by The Matrix, but he didn't care. He would rather be in that fantasy world than the real world.

Remind you of someone?
