Although Hector Ruiz, CEO of AMD did not mention any plans to outsource production during the company's recent investors conference, the industry sources revealed that TSMC has already started testing procedures for a SOI manufacturing process in order to land manufacturing orders for AMD's Fusion CPUs. The increase in outsourcing could allow AMD to sell off some of its manufacturing equipment and help lower the company's operating costs, noted sources at AMD's partners. AMD's current goals are to return to profitability in the first half of 2009 and to grab back a 30% worldwide market share by the second quarter in 2009, noted the sources.

you read it as "woe is me" i ment it more as "meh shit happens" and "people should do a little research befor them make statements"(or in this case report somebody as a spambot)
i would take this to privat, but i really think as a mod IF you had a comment like this to make to me or anybody, you should have taken you own advice and taken it to PM's insted of "stiring the pot"
not attacking you mind, just pointing out that nobody was getting all bent over it, not even more, w1zzard insta banned me after getting a spam report, then after he got my email he reverced it and eventuly got most of my posts back, again SHIT HAPPENS.
