Paul, >>>I am encountering more and more of these as time goes on - ON THE WEB/INTERNET. <<< Are you referring to anything more than some Javascript or appellates (sp?) that are downloaded along with the HTML? If that is what you are referring to, then that is only a few lines of code. In the Computing World Scheme of things, where there are trillions of lines of Code, a few hundred lines in Java Code here and there is very insignificant. I'm looking for some personal knowledge (from anyone) of any real significant uses of Java. I could be wrong, but I don't think it's happening (but I do think they are spending a lot of money on PR).

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: idt.mdh.se 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? Gary Kao
