Time Magazine reports an interesting case of high-tech graffiti. It seems
that a couple of Intel engineers working on the design of a recent version
of the Pentium microprocessor included a message that describes their
feelings about Bill Gates, president of Microsoft, a good corporate pal of
Intel's.
When a portion of the Pentium chip is examined under a powerful scanning
electron microscope, the phrase "bill sux" is clearly visible, etched into
the surface of the chip. The "flaw" in the chip was only discovered by
accident well after the chip was released into the market, too late for
Intel to prevent the chip from being used in the manufacture of tens of
thousands of PCs.
Intel says that both engineers responsible were former employees of
Motorola, makers of the chips that are the heart of the Apple Macintosh.
Both engineers have since been fired by Intel. Full picture at
