Wonderful. I really loathe marketting. Now Apple users are target of the their most recent campaign.

Its a shame that there's no way to capture concrete data on how effect these marketting campaigns are. I can see some users being fooled into opting for an Nvidia based (GF440Go) system over an ATI based (Mobility-9000) one and recieving less performance, or even a desktop based on GF3 technology vs R250. I just wonder what portion of users are duped...

We all love that logo, Joe :)
IIRC ( and I'm not sure at all ) , it was me who had the idea of simply changing "played" to "delayed", you originally changed a lot more than that and it didn't look much better ( so this one is better because there's a lot less editing, not being the phrase is better )

Anyone wanna hack the ATI website to put that logo everywhere on it? I bet they wouldn't even do you a lawsuit if they find you :D

I have said this many times before, and I will say it again. Nvidia have the best marketing team in the industry. I am not saying I am agreeing with thier methods, but the fact is it is very effective. ATI needs to step up imo. If ATI plans on staying on top for long periods of time, they need to atleast match Nvidia in marketing. Otherwise forget it! Jmho of course.
