You take offense? Ok. How about absurd instead of asinine? What upper hand are you referring to? Since when is it uncommon for companies to coordinate news to maximize impact.To be clear, you're saying you would be mad if they did a deal with Intel and coordinated the news to coincide with Intel's press conference at a major industry event? All because you weren't told first? Hmmm. Yeah makes sense. We should ask that the SSC only consider doing deals with companies that don't have any need for secrecy leading up to announcements, aren't looking to make dramatic impacts within their industry in order to gain market share and are able to put their strategic goals on the back burner so that dash8400 can be informed properly. All of this while being willing to cut a $Billion+ check. Talk about not seeing the forest through the trees. Some people aren't happy unless they're complaining about something.
