Why aren't they buying me, then? I know lots about x86! 
(I really need the money )
(I really need the money )So an acquisition is a sign of fear? Ever hear about something many companies strive for called "growth" ?
...
I think they've grown quite enough allready. The fact that just as ATI and AMD complete their merger, Nvidia starts buying out people who are clued up on x86 is a sign they're a little worried and have plans of their own.
Nvidia are weak..therefore, they get scared easily
Uh, I tend to think NV has plenty of x86 experience already given that they make (and have made) lines of x86 chipsets......

Given the timing, obviously AMD and ATi are scared, right?Geez...i'm just saying. Given the timing, them snapping up some people who in particular know a good deal about x86 architecture seems obvious that they're investigating any possibilities that ATIMD might be working on...or something.
They're scared

Of course...did you ever doubt that?
How many x86 microprocessors have you designed?Why aren't they buying me, then? I know lots about x86!
Which in turn explains why they'd be interested in the first place ... But it's fun to read as much as possible into a news item, isn't it? I mean, it must be, as lots of people are doing it.
