- A friend just told me he was hired for recording Dutch voice-overs for an Intel
- movie, to be shown in an OMNIMAX theater (where the projection covers 180
- degrees of your field of vision--nice experience if the movie's any good).
-
- It's called "The Journey Inside" or something like that, and the story is
- apparently about jealous aliens who want to steal our great phantastic modern
- super-duper Intel chip technology and a little boy needs to travel inside a
- microprocessor to prevent it. Really sickening to aim their indoctrination at
- innocent youngsters like that.
-
- On a more hilarious note (number 1), the movie was supposed to be released much
- earlier but that's when the Pentium bug scandal happened! IMHO they should have
- changed the plot so ET and his friends would return to save us from our great
- phantastic modern super-duper Intel chip technology...
-
- Better yet (number 2), this news comes just days after the latest big Intel bug
- was discovered by Motorola, and Intel had to reduce their SPECint92 benchmark
- ratings by as much as 15% as a result.
-
- And while I'm at it (number 3): Has anybody else noticed that some Pentia also
- have a bug in the FP *multiply* instruction?
