The head of the Federal Trade Commission has rejected requests by lawmakers, other commissioners and a small rival company to open a formal antitrust investigation of Intel, the world's largest maker of computer microprocessors, for anticompetitive conduct, government officials and lawyers involved in the proceeding said.

In recent weeks, regulators in Korea and with the European Commission have separately accused Intel of antitrust violations by offering large discounts to computer makers in exchange for their not using products by the rival company, Advanced Micro Devices, which has struggled to compete and has waged a global antitrust campaign against Intel. Japanese officials made similar accusations in 2005.

There is NO DOUBT to me that Intel has a monopoly and uses illegal strategies to get its processors into computers.
AMD makes a better chip. It is cheaper ,faster and more reliable and yet it can be tough to get a computer with an AMD chip.
I tried to get a few of the big companies to make a PC with an AMD chip and they told me they couldn't. I did find an HP with one. It was 40% cheaper , faster and had 64 bit capability unlike the inferior Intel chip.
The watch dogs are dead and wholly corperate ownwed. Reagan,both Bushies and Clinton have sold out our American Government...Hillary will do the same as would the GOP front runners.
Who will protect American Freedom and Justice?

Or how about the Bush/Cheney maladministration not prosecuting crimes they are parties to?
