Nvidia to acquire Mellanox Technologies for about $7 billion in cash
Chipmaker Nvidia on Monday announced plans to acquire peer Mellanox Technologies for about $7 billion in cash.
The deal is Nvidia's biggest-ever acquisition and is expected to boost its business of making chips for data centers, allowing it to reduce its reliance on the video game industry, for which it is best known as a major technology vendor.
Financial news website Calcalist had reported earlier on Sunday that Nvidia had outbid Intel for Mellanox.

Two reasons, the economy and National Security. If we foolishly buy all our Peta Flops from China like the Dems want, our great cyber industry will Flop. And China will be able to send bad cyber. We're doing new I.C.B.M., new nuclear. And we need Peta Flop for that, right? Well, if we use China cyber, they can put something in there, a code that tells us, "oh look, you can make your nuclear smaller and it will still work, big money saver there." Only it won't work, because they lied. We fire our I.C.B.M., it doesn't go boom. They call that one the Fizzle. Makes a little mess but basically does NOTHING. It doesn't do nothing, it gets people angry. They're angry because "we" tried to nuke them. And possibly they nuke us back. Only, their nukes work. Because they were smart, they used American cyber. Or they made their own cyber. Not Chinese cyber. So phoney!

I don't like this parody, but only because it's too damned easy to write like he speaks. Bush was at least a challenge to mimic the folksy idiocy of. With trump all you gotta do is start a thought, and then finish a completely different thought in a babbling staccato, and throw in his favorite keywords here and there.
