Intel and Moto settle ____________________________________________________________________ Motorola, Intel settle lawsuit By Dan Goodin Staff Writer, CNET News.com April 30, 1999, 5:05 p.m. PT Motorola has settled a lawsuit accusing Intel of illegally hiring away employees from the Motorola division responsible for the PowerPC microprocessor, the two companies announced today. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed. The companies said they expect the lawsuit, which was filed in Texas state court in Austin, to be dismissed within the next two weeks. Motorola sued Intel in March, alleging that Intel violated laws against trade-secret misappropriation when it hired about 15 PowerPC designers away from Motorola. Motorola sought a court order forbidding the engineers from taking positions in Intel where Motorola trade secrets would be used. Motorola alleged that Intel first hired away Mark McDermott, the head of Motorola's Somerset design center in Austin. Ten days later, Motorola, claimed, Intel announced plans to open a similar center nearby. Intel spokesman Chuck Mulloy declined to discuss the settlement except to say that it "addresses the concerns of both parties." Representatives from Motorola could not be immediately reached for comment. news.com ___________________________________________________________________ Intel is getting pretty good at this settling business. I wonder how much this cost them.

Paul, Re: "I'm sure Yousef and Fred Fahmy & Burt Masnick & Elmer & Tenchusatsu get many such "Thank you"'s as well." Yes Paul, I do get E-mails thanking me for my technical posts on IC processing. People love to learn about the technology that they are investing in ... I also get thanks for "debunking" the AMD HYPE on this thread. Make It So, Yousef

RE:"I get scores of private e-mails from "lurkers" who thank me profusely for raising "flags" that caused them not to buy this AMDog stock. I'm sure Yousef and Fred Fahmy & Burt Masnick & Elmer & Tenchusatsu get many such "Thank you"'s as well."... Sure Paul, and we know that for every one of those "thanks" you get you get 10 telling you to "seek professional help"! <G> Perhaps you should channel your efforts to Christian radio and save a few souls where is counts.
