Default This is just too funny to pass up "Newegg Selling Fake Intel CPU's"

This is not what I call a counterfeit CPU; a "counterfeit" cpu is at

"remarked" to be labeled as a faster CPU than it really is); this is a
hunk of metal, and the "fan" is a photo of a fan and some foam rubber or
plastic.

But, regardless, "someone has some 'splainin to do".


"someone" has more to do than just some 'spaining. Like maybe, hire a
good defense attorney. That "someone" should do time for this. I
think this is called fraud, and if 300 units are affected, with a
retail price of say $300 (rounding off a bit), that's 90 grand.
Serious enough for the local DA to ask "someone" a few questions.
