He What I think was said in a backroom secret meeting.

Cuomo: Hey Amd, My state is broke and we are running a deep deep defecit. Can you help us out?

AMD: Yeah, wait a minute. I'll build a factory in your state and that will create many jobs, thus creating taxable revenue. What you can do for me is go after intel in some manner.

Cuomo: Yes that"ll be great. I am thinking alone the lines of say an anti-trust lawsuit. You have the possibility of making millions!

AMD: great thats just great. of course this never happened.

thats what i take away from this and thats my honest opinion. where were these guys when everything else hit the fan or better yet prevented it.

Going after Intel ( INTC - news - people ) might allow Cuomo to score political points--never mind the inconvenient fact that Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD - news - people ), Intel's arch-rival, is building a massive new factory in New York--but this legal assault will only stymie innovation in the computer chip market.
