Actually, Kristine gave me those. I feel terrible. I got some kind of verbal cue when it was being handed to me on Christmas morning that lead me to believe it was from her mom. I'm sorry. I don't have a clue exactly how I came to that conclusion.geekster wrote:I got both:

Hell Yeah!!! I actually slept (woke up at 3pm) for over eight hours after working all night. It is always difficult for me to sleep beyond 9am, internal clock thingy going on. This is actually sort of a problem on the playa as well but I think I might be making progress in being able to sleep on demand, Hell Yeah!!

Craig Barrett just sent out a message saying that he was going to give us a surprise $1000 bonus to every employee. Jus' cuz'. A lot of crap has happened over the last two years and we've had to bust ass to get back into the position we were before the bubble burst.
This is besides our normal two bonuses we get in Jan/Feb.
Intel really is one of those companies that watches out for its peeps. Not just cause of the above, but the efforts they took to retain people during the bubble burst downsizing. We don't get paid the best, but they tend to look out for us. Its why we spend so much time in the Fortune 500's 'top ten to work for' list over the last couple decades.
Feeling the love. But I'll just end up spending it on crack.

Successful corporations are evil, its how they survive. I'll pit Intel's business practices against Microsoft's, IBM's, AMD's, Broadcom's, and a shitload others anyday. Halfway through reading the page I seen a half dozen examples that screamed 'disgruntled whack job' to me.
Seriously, the largest concentration of Intel plants are in a 10 miles radius of my house. I'm not denying that Intel can be cuthroat, but we tend to have better integrity than our competitors. Hence one of the reasons that we get deals with so many computer manufactorers even though we are higher priced.
One example. After the big Pentium oops a decade ago, we release our chip errata to our customers. To my knowledge, we are the only company that does this- even though it could potentially hurt us. I know Broadcom and AMD don't.
So I guess I'm saying I'm a corporate whore and proud of it. Oh, and I fuck spotted owls. But they asked for it.

Are short calls the same price as long distance?
and, lucky you, no roaming charges.
still, there is an activation fee... you should be aware of that...
