Link from Engadget, a good internet tech site that I read regularly.  They took a few notes from the latest Nvidia conference call and wrote up some of the more...er...interesting wordplay. 

"Looks like Intel's plans to enter the graphics space in a big way with its Nehalem and Larrabee lines strike NVIDIA CEO Jen Hsun-Huang as being rather foolish -- in a conference call with analysts today, Huang said Intel's integrated graphics offerings were "a joke," and that even a tenfold increase in performance would put them behind NVIDIA's current products. Huang didn't stop there, saying that NVIDIA was "going to open a can of whoop-ass," and that while Intel's graphics chips were fine for running Office, they would never cut it for gamers and other demanding users. Huang kept going, responding to questions about all those driver-related Vista crashes by saying that NVIDIA had to support new games weekly while Intel's chips aren't ever put to the test. Actually, that's toning it down a bit -- what Huang actually said was "You already have the right machine to run Excel. You bought it four years ago... How much faster can you render the blue screen of death?" Yeah, them's fightin' words -- you going to sit there and take it, Intel?"

Full disclosure: I've been following NVDA for a while now.  I've even traded it a few times recently. 

What I wouldn't give to see Steve Jobs (AAPL) or Steve Balmer (MSFT) say something like this at a press conference. 

Update: It looks like Nvidia is puttng their money where their mouth is. Link.

"Following up yesterday's trash talk with a little action, NVIDIA has disclosed plans to create a sub-$45 processing platform which the GPU-maker is calling, "The World's Most Affordable Vista Premium PC." The architecture will combine VIA's Isaiah processor with an integrated NVIDIA graphics chipset, which the company claims outperforms Intel's Celeron-based, 945 IGP/ICH4 setup handily. Apparently, the combo is capable of 36 GFLOPS versus Intel's 6.4GFLOPS -- which we shouldn't have to tell you is a ton of GFLOPS. We're excited about the prospect of better performance in an integrated chipset (we've all suffered at the hands of the GMA950), but we don't want to see this end in a back-alley knife fight. Keep your cool, guys."

  Woz is a liar and thief, but is good at heart. He is used by  one, for  his purpose , used by others, that are greater  than he. Tech Talk and admits openly.

I see the word in the news which, some will agree, changing the world for the purpose of he

PEACE

I used to do some PC gaming back in the day - mostly first person shooters such as Quake, Half Life, Counter Strike,  Battlefield 1942,  Unreal Tournament, etc....   I ( and everyone else I knew ) always used NVidia graphics cards.  They were the best as far as graphics goes.  It's been more than several years since I've done any PC gaming, so I haven't really kept up with how the industry has evolved since.

I don't know if I would ever go back to PC gaming myself.  In fact,  when the wife and I were down in Florida,  her friend we stayed with had a Nintendo WI ( never seen or played one before that).   Around 7:00 or so in the evening,  I was talked into playing a game of Guitar Hero.  I know several people who've played it before and said it was fun.   I tell you what,  that game is addicting!!!.  I was up till 3:00am playing that game.   They had the whole set-up ..... drums, guitar, etc...

Some of the local bars where I live now substituting Karaoke nights with having Guitar Hero nights.

You're right Danny.  I get the two games confused.  I just did a google search to see which one it was and it was definitely Rock Band which means I must have played it on a PS3 or XBox rather than a Wi.  I didn't actually see the console.  I guess I just assumed it was a Wi because that's what my friends said they played it on and I didn't realize Rock Band and Guitar Hero were two different games, so they must have been playing Guitar Hero.   Anyway,  the game is a blast ( Rock Band ).   I'd like to check out Guitar Hero and see how that compares to Rock Band.

It has taken them years to develop.

Big Fan of NVidia. They will be taking market share from Intel. They have already started crushing AMD's recently aquired ATI rival. This weeks earnings will tell a better story.
