Intel gets heavy with gaming site, showing little intel
INTEL IS HEAVILY into gaming, especially as it will intro a 3.4GHz Pentium 4 Extended Edition early next week.
But now it seems to have set its trademark folk onto gamers, possibly a PR unfriendly move as they are the very folk who might buy a 3.4GHz P4 EE for $1,000 when it's launched.
A "Caesar Desist!" letter, as we call it, has winged its way to intelrecon.com with a message in the Molotov-style cocktail that tells the owner of the site that Intel is recognised as a leading gaming company.
The problem here is that INTELRECON.COM isn't pretending to be anything to do with the corporation, but is a fan site devoted to well known game America's Army.
And as "intel" is used heavily in the security community as a short form of intelligence, we wonder if Intel is being a tad threatened of the said human ability in this particular case?
