VIA for instance

VIA can't afford a bowl of hot soup at this point. AMD is here to stay, no matter how bad the financial situation gets for them there will always be a powerful Chinese or Middle Eastern investor standing by to bail them out, and the recent last minute splurge of foreign investment into various North American based bank/credit corporations is a pretty solid indicator of that. Welcome to the global economy.
