1/20 So, this Intel compression proxy thing... is this similar to that
proxy called "Transend" that some Berkeley students came up with?
\_ sorta, but not as scalable and they stole the ideas from us.
(The transend group gave a talk to intel about a year before
the started working on the project)
\_What the $%$! for? An open presentation, fine. But specifically
going to present things to a company that is known to compete in
things like that? yik.
\_ Umm...this is a University - we believe in sharing
information - we're not in competition with companies.
(If we were competing with Intel, you think they would
be donating millions of dollars worth of PC's every year?)
\_ acutally my bitch isn't that they made it. But
that there is NO credit given to our ideas and that
Intel is trying to patent a lot of things we had done
earlier.
\_ If you published, they can't patent. You *did*
publish, right? Oh? You didn't? Then how do we
know you did anything at all? How do we know *you*
didn't steal *their* ideas?
\_ uh we published, lots. The point is now we
need to defend our work and Intel is being
lame, espeically considering they KNEW that
they were taking ideas from glomop,
\_ Maybe you should give it up and go work for
Intel on their new Transcend project? I hear
they may have some lower level positions for
some bright young newbies looking for a start
in the world. If you're lucky, after a year
or two of doing backups, they might let you
write a few small snipets of code.
\_ wasn't there a URL for it somewhere locally? |
