Microsoft's Multi-Million Dollar Settlement to I.B.M. Gives Way to Suspicion of Trust
James Kanter and Kevin O’Brien collaborated in "In Europe, Intel Faces a Large Antitrust Fine" to illuminate the case against computer chip making corporation Intel which is being investigated by Brussels--- "European antitrust regulators, [who] have been aggressively pursuing what they see as anticompetitive practices among technology companies"--- over complaints from it's archrival Advanced Micro Devices about "abusing its dominant position in computer chips by giving large rebates to computer makers, by paying computer makers to delay or cancel product lines and by offering chips for powerful server computers at prices below actual cost." The journalists use an anecdote to write about and they exppress this anecdote through not only direct quotations but with data from past Intel settlements. This article can be found at (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/30/technology/companies/30chip.html?_r=1&ref=business)
- Is it fair to accuse Intel of breaking antitrust laws because of the tough competition that it brings?
- Could this story have been written without the use of any anecdotes?
