I know this is totally off-topic, but Google should totally buy AMD.
Just imagine the money they could pour into R&D.. In a few years AMD could have their serious face on and nobody would be laughing.

Does anyone here remember Kurzweil VOICE for Windows 3.1?

...and so Skynet was born from the bowels of Google.

Lets maintain our perspective and decorum here folks. There is enough hate on the forum as it is.

Laugh a little. Makes the day better all around.

Google is now officially unstoppable. I look forward to seeing what Ray Kurzweil can come up with over the next few thousand years.

Look what he did the last few thousand years. Sure, the Dark Ages sucked a bit, but the Renaissance sure paid off.

Cool as that might be they would be much more likely to delve into ARM world as so much of their software runs on it

I am more excited at what Ray will do with Google's policy of workers working on what they want and like 20% of their time.
Internet projected into the retina and commanded directly by the brain, here we come!

Google and AMD sounds cool, BUT I WANT DEATHRAYS! who needs to have a legal battle with apple when you can burn those damn hipsters to the ground?

Google has become such a great company over the last few years. It's always good to hear such innovators teaming up!

as much as i would love to see the injection of cash to amd and google's innovation it is the same reason nobody has bought VIA.. they do very little with thier x86 license and some people even here would have to search for VIA to even realise they are A. a company and B. also have an x86 license... they would have been bought out many years ago if it were transferable

still excited to see kurzweil hired by google. I have enjoyed his books
