This is second year in a row that they at WinHEC are screwing up the name and guess what, same CQ letters are used! Hey guys, this is a dog, you don't need a conspiracy like this to screw it up!

what's the deal with OEMs covering up (or relabeling?) the chip on their boards? Are they embarassed that they don't have their own solution? And why does Cube let them get away with it? I asked around about this once, and I was told that it is a very common practice to make it more difficult to reverse engineer the product. Basically it is done so competitors can't figure out how you built the device. I personally don't think it's that complicated for a competitor to peel the sticker off the back of a chip, but a lot of companies will engrave the purchasing company's logo, instead of their own, onto the chip.
