BFG Technologies, Inc. is winding down and liquidating its business. "It is important to note that BFG was not denied Fermi allocation, but that this allocation was simply very, very slim. BFG simply couldn’t make enough cards to make Fermi worthwhile, so had to fall back on their PSU business. This led to Best Buy dropping them, which knocked out a huge portion of their revenue. From there it would seem inevitable.
Needless to say, we’re all disappointed to see them go."

AMD Loses Its Linux Core Engineering Manager |

"AMD's Catalyst Linux driver has improved substantially over
the past few years. Years ago the Catalyst Linux driver was in shambles
with its performance being utterly poor, it lacked enthusiast-oriented
features like CrossFire and OverDrive, and ATI customers had to wait
months -- sometimes in excess of a year -- for any driver support in
Linux. All of this though has changed with AMD now providing same-day
Linux support, a near feature parity to the Windows Catalyst driver, and
first-rate performance. Playing a critical role in improving the ATI
Linux support has been Matthew Tippett, serving as the engineering
manager for Linux Core Engineering since joining ATI Technologies in
2003. To put it in perspective, when Matthew started work at ATI, only
the FireGL graphics cards were supported under Linux. However, today
will be his last day serving ATI / Advanced Micro Devices."
