Intel will fork over fifteen whole American dollars to folks who feel that it and HP misrepresented the performance of Pentium 4 CPUs released way back in the year 2000.

Only available in USA, no $15 for me :(

Very informative. At least quote some of the important aspects of the story instead of simply posting a link.

Seriously, don't bother posting just a link. Contribute to the story with your own opinion on it.

Remind me again why humanity hasn't killed all the lawyers? Fucking parasites keeping a stupid "class action" suit alive, just to fatten their wallets...

Its more of a societal issue then a lawyer issue. People are so quick to sue, and a lot of civil suits boil down to not paying attention. "I didn't do my research before buying product A, I'm suing!!"

Maybe you should put in the effort in the first place instead of posting just to be first? 

 

Maybe you should do something else other than posting gutless posts in the news section, eh?

 I literally editied it in just under 10 seconds of posting it.... It was not a matter of lacking effort, it was a matter of getting it posted asap because that is just the way like it, mmk?

This is good news for whoever was actually affected.

 

15 bucks is a joke plain and simple. Why offer a settlement at all? Donate that sum to a charity or setup a scholarship or something meaningful.
