Record label done you wrong? Not a problem if you’re Danger Mouse. In a rather bizarre story, the famed music maker and producer (who is one-half of the group Gnarls Barkley) has decided to release a blank CD as his next album. Yes, a blank CD. If you’ll recall, group System Of A Down released an album a few years back entitled ‘Steal This Album,’ but this is a whole new level of rebellion.As the story goes, his record label (EMI) canceled his newest disc, with sources citing a “legal dispute” as the hang-up.
Jen-Hsun Huang, chief executive officer of graphics chip maker Nvidia, called Intel's chip pricing unfair but said his company will not seek antitrust action against the world's largest chip maker for now. Nvidia makes graphics chips that pair with Intel's low-powered Atom in lower-priced netbook computers. He said Intel sells an Atom chip by itself for $45, but sells a three-chip set for $25 to lure business away.
Intel brushed off Huang's suggestion. “We compete fairly. We do not force bundles on any computer makers and customers can purchase Atom individually or as part of the bundle,” said Bill Calder, a spokesman for Intel. “If you want to purchase the chip set, obviously there is better pricing.” For now, Huang plans no legal action.
