Press Junketeer  Posts: 411 Joined: 8 Jun 2008     | Whaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!!!!??????????? That shit is crazy. My first instinct is to cry, bullshit! However, there is always the possibility that this guy is right, Steve Jobs is not exactly the most scrupulous businessman. If he thought he could get away with it, I could see him ripping off someone else's idea. People do that shit all the time, although don't always succeed thanks to copyright laws. |

The Intel black helicopters are warming up now, as well as their death squads, to ensure his silence. If you think thats bad, you'd be amazed as to want Apple do - they *connection broken* |

It's a good question, but not one I'm able to find out I'm afraid. |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 599 Joined: 20 Aug 2008   | So he went to the Jack Thompson school of law where you learn to make insane claims, then quote scripture when your claims are summarily rejected? Also: A hacker-proof, virus-proof computer? Brilliant! Why didn't anyone think of that before?!? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1550 Joined: 13 Oct 2008  | Wow, stay away from that jail cell if you're going to prison in Oregon. That guy seems to be a bit unstable at best! Then again, he could be right. Well, only time will tell. |

Ok, so it was rape, arson, murder and rape. Because he likes rape. If he were unlawfully imprisoned, you'd think that his freedom would be a little more important than harassing some omnipresent corporate entity. Hacker and virus proof? When was the last time someone hacked or wrote a virus that specifically targeted a CPU? |

Muckraker  Posts: 295 Joined: 26 Aug 2008 | Wait a minute, wait a minute - a hacker proof, virus proof computer? That's my damn idea! I knew Jobs couldn't be trusted! Alright, I'm writing a very strongly worded letter. |

Right the first time methinks, in a contest between this case and a snowball in a microwave, I'd bet on the snowball lasting longer. Our boy is claiming violation of a "patentable" invention. Considering he's filing this pro se (no lawyer), the necessary discovery process (finding evidence) to prove that fraud, theft, invention, etc. took place would be daunting for a full scale law firm. For a dude in jail? I'm not so sure. If he was half as smart as he claims to be, he'd just post the specs on the internet and savor the anarchy. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3664 Joined: 21 Jan 2008   | Wait, if he mustered up design plans or something like that, would he have a case? |

Blue ink is a method of securing a signature as legitimate as photocopiers are all-black, and red is invisible to copiers. |
Paperboy Posts: 37 Joined: 7 Jan 2009    | Isn't the computer hardware industry supposed to thrive on screwing each other over? If so, they how is this a surprise to anyone? Also, why is the guy incarcerated in the first place? |

Yes but for legal documents and contracts you sign in blue ink. Yes I'm sure the law knows about scanners and printers, but there are always flaws to the copies. User was banned for: The hypocrisy is KILLING me.. (Permanent) |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3282 Joined: 23 Oct 2007   | Hacker-proof? Virus-proof? Not with an x86 design, it's not. He's bullshitting and absolutely batshit insane to boot. Plus, you know, Intel were making dual-core processors before the Core 2 Duo. |

Prisoner Sues Intel For $5 Billion
Inmate Matthew Young claims that Steve Jobs stole the idea of his "Lancelot" and passed it onto Intel.
Matthew Robert Young, currently incarcerated at the Snake River Correctional Institution in Ontario, Oregon, says that the Core 2 Duo chip and its virtualization technology are based on his earlier "Lancelot" design.
The computer itself was meant to be "Hacker proof, Virus proof Computer with Multiphase Microprocessors" and he was hoping that Apple would market or buy the design off him, for a cool $250 million. Surprisingly, there was no comeback call.
According to the filing though, Steve Jobs met up with Intel later that year and passed those secrets on, and in June 2006, Intel senior vice president Pat Gelsinger appeared in The Oregonian holding a motherboard. Young says he can prove this motherboard was manufactured from his stolen intellectual property.
Young wrote to Intel:
His reply - which he states proves Intel knew about it, reads:
As if that wasn't enough, Young then cites the Bible as reference for why Intel is liable, specifically Romans 3:19/20:
v. 19 Now we know that what things so ever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may become guilty before God.
v. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in His sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
