3dfx Layoffs & Spinoff(!)
by Jack Mathews, Feb 02, 2000 2:52pm PSTIÂ’ve got a Shack scoop for you guys. After hearing from various people that 3dfx went through some layoffs on Monday, I decided to dig a bit and find out what was up. So I finally got the scoop. There was a 20% Reduction In Force at 3dfx on Monday (right after their fiscal year ended, likely so they could delay in reporting it). 5% of the 20% were pure layoffs, and the remaining 15% was spun off (or will spin off) into their own company. This 15% was the advanced multimedia group of former STB. I donÂ’t know the new companyÂ’s name, but this news is very good for 3dfx stock-wise. This should help their fiscal Q1 and spinning off the advanced multimedia group shows that theyÂ’re willing to trim down the core company of people that really arenÂ’t needed since the STB merger. Here is a link to the follow-up for people coming to this news item directly.

\"Jazz could feel his rod becoming stiff; it was scratching against his codpiece. \"It is a bit hard to explain.\"
Maria smiled.
\"Then show me!\"
She placed a hand over her mouth. She couldn\'t believe what she had just said. It was embarrassing. Jazz smiled to her.
\"My pleasure.\"
Maria dropped her jaw almost down to the grass. Jazz took her hand and looked at her.
Then he kissed her. She nearly fainted in chock. Then he took her hand and led it to a little clip.
\"Unclip it!\"
Maria unsnatched it, and he led her to another clip.
\"This one too.\"
She unsnatched it too and his codpiece fell to the ground. She looked down and looked at his fully erect rod.
It was amazing. She touched it, Jazz gasped by the touch. She smiled to him and he kissed her again. He unzipped her dress and it fell down to her ankles, she kicked it away. Jazz looked a bit confused at her bra. Maria laughed and helped him unclip it.\"
chalupas are nasty

so what\'s your motivation?
Reasons -
(a) No mobile solution planned
(b) No CAD / Workstation solution planned
(c) Failure to adequately capture OEM Market
(d) External Power Supply required for V5 6000 ~ essentially a reworked \'brick\' ( many V2 boards linked together..)
Tell the fat bastard to eat another taco or something!
hehe
If you\'re going to rail on Jack, at least be a little more creative! For the record, \"Jackoff\" and \"Jackass\" have been used. Multiple times. Many of you will no doubt reply to me with \"We don\'t give jack-shit what you say, Booya!\" So.. consider that used as well.
Besides, if I were Jack having to wade through your vomit-posts I think I\'d be nuking this crap too.
