Intel to become Toyzilla? for Barbie, Ken The Washington Post is reporting that Intel engineers are building toys at a skunkworks which is a cooperation between Mattel, makers of Barbie and Ken, and the chip firm. The deal, according to the often amusing piece, is because kids of today want challenging and innovative toys rather than those tired old favourites, dolls and guns. Intel Play, the existence of which we have already reported, has already launched four products in the US, including a rather snazzy $99.99 computer microscope. It is unclear whether this microscope is powered by a Coppermine chip. These products are likely to become the sine qua non for Eurokids, probably later on this year. According to the WP piece, which quotes an editor of a Toy publication, the Intel brand is like the Good Housekeeping seal of approval. Brokered by Intel chairman Andy Grove and Mattel CEO Jill Barad, other products likely to arrive this year will include a sound morpher and a digital movie creator. theregister.co.uk

That's nothing! Wexler talks to himself...What's the matter, the only 7-11 clerk on duty at night? Message 12816239 Of course, there is Kevin over at Albertson's. Nice to see you guys commiserating. I have a feeling your glee is about over. Yeah...You shorted GUMM early all right. It will come back to haunt. Sorry that I was remiss in reminding you of that. I thought it might hurt enough having shorted at 12, 13 and on up to 18...and beyond. I will try to keep you better informed of the stupidity of your short. This stock is volatile. Especially with the SHORT SHILLS spreading disinformation. But the trend remains up and your protestations to the contrary won't change that.
