"We are like the American bullfrog. No one wants to swallow it, because it possesses a deadly poison. AMD also has such a poison: We compete with Intel," Ruiz said.

Elmer I can't believe Ruiz was stupid enough to say something like that in public, its one thing for a public corp. to have
a poison pill to prevent hostile take over, it's another thing

would be stupid enough to take us over and compete with our
competitor. This speaks volumes for Ruiz's disregard for his

of the former CEO what’s his name.
