A call from D... stunned us this morning when we learned that Hector de Ruiz was going to resign as AMD's CEO. As a matter of fact, this revelation was coming from a person who agreed on NDA, but we did not promise to keep silent on that too. That is why we can freely reveal this stunning news....
The origine of Hector's decision is linked to his concert at COMDEX® 02. We all remember the concert Hector frantically made, playing guitar like Manita de Platas© a famous tune called Juanita Banana™. After the show Hector, very contented with himself, went to see Jerry Sanders from whom he expected some compliments. Instead of that Jerry, straightforwardly as usual, couldn't refrain from telling him : "Hey buddy... You plays guitar like a chainsaw. I'll keep your 2002 bonus for all the lawsuits we might face with Vivaldi's heirs"...
This dirty remark made him cry out loud and he promised to postpone Athlon 64™ release in a coercive move that has shocked the computer world so violently. But that wasn't all. According to our own personal source, Hector has sent a whole box of home made burritos, filled with a powerful laxative cocktail, to Sanders's who, paranoid like his best seller recommends to be, gave it all to Opteron™, his sweet Rotweiler.
After eating the whole tupperware®, the poor beast couldn't stop yelling while redesigning the genuine persian carpet, of the main dining room, with some impressionism based pointislism technics that was so dear to Pissaro© and Seurat©.
Jerry was deeply shocked! An antic genuine persian carpet bought at Stanford© auction for 2500 Duron™ was destroyed, and after inquiring, Jerry in awe, discovered that Hector was used to this kind of gift when in job at Motorola® where he was nicknamed screaming Burrictor©...
All this, led Jerry to ask Hector to resign in order to avoid the humiliation of a public repudiation and to offer the board, to come back as CEO as soon as the stockholders will approve it. The official news should be coming on the 1st of April through the usual Businesswire™ channel. |
