Intel chip sabotage? Story allegedly from AP newswire is that two Intel engineers were recently fired for engraving in submicron dimensions the words "Bill Sux" onto thousands of Pentium chips in an attempt to insult Bill Gates. See the following picture:

The chips were already sold or incorporated into many PC's and hence were irretrievable. Apparently, these two engineers were formerly from Motorola but left because of Microsoft-induced PowerPC sales declines. The picture looks real enough. Can anyone verify the truth of this interesting incident?
