NBC's Today Show web site rounds up tricks for talking anyone
into anything, whether you're negotiating over price, persuading your spouse, or influencing
co-workers. A lot of the tips are more about simple manipulation, but the price negotiation tip
offered a solid rule-of-thumb:
If you are the buyer, offer the salesperson 15 percent to 20 percent less than what you can
really afford. For instance, if you absolutely can't spend more than $6,000 on a used car
advertised at $7,000, try offering $5,100 (15 percent less than $6,000).
Of course you'll need to get comfortable with haggling to apply this rule, but if the seller is
using the same rule in reverse for pricing the item (which the author also suggests), you almost
have to haggle if you're going to get a reasonable price. Photo by jenn_jenn. How to talk anyone into anything [Today]

Quote: HOT ON THE heels of its denials that anything is wrong with the G92 and
G94s comes another PCN that shows the G92s and G92b are being changed for no reason. Yup, the
problems that are plaguing G84 and G86 are the same that affect seemingly all 65nm and now 55nm
Nvidia parts.
This PCN is very similar to the one linked above, and the formatting is almost almost exactly the
same, so we won't cover all the details, just the pertinent points. This one is much more
important, it confirms that the problems are not confined to the 65nm products. Since Nvidia told
us the last one was unimportant and refused to give it to us, we didn't bother asking this time, we
just took notes when they were shown to us at a recent conference.
It is titled "G92 GPU Desktop Products" with a subtitle of "Change Bump Material from High Pb to
Eutectic Solder", with a date of June 2008 and a number PCN0346A on it. Page 2 has the "PCN Submit
Date" of June 13, 2008, " Planned Implementation Date" of July 28, 2008, and a "Proposed First Ship
Date for change" of August 17, 2008. Short story here, if you have a G92 or G92b purchased before
next week, you likely have a lemon. Remember, these are chip ship dates, not boards in stores.
The next few chunks, "Change Category" and others are the same, "Class 1", given to everyone under
the sun, and OMGWTFBBQ. That is kind of a 'well duh' thing, and is exactly the same as the G86 part
PCN.
The big one is the affected parts list. It clearly states that not only are 65nm parts bad, but
55nm ones are as well. The entire list of affected parts is as follows.
Small batch, my arse
Lets see, what do we have here? It looks like they changed the bumping material on the 55nm parts a
month and a day after introduction. Yup, no reason for that at all, nothing to see here either.
The next part is a description of what we already knew and told you about on the last PCN story. To
use their words, "Nvidia will transition from using high-lead solder (95%Pb/5%Sn) to eutectic
solder (63%Sn/37%Pb) flip-chip bump material for the G92 product family. During the transition
period Nvidia will be supplying both high-lead and eutectic bump until inventory is depleted. No
other materials are being changed."
This makes complete sense, and it is followed by a picture of a modern chip with the bumps and
underfill pointed out.
The reasons are the same, supply and robustness, as is the impact statement. Same very curious
wording. Nothing new, just bad news.
The "Implementation and Qualification Plan" however does have some new news. It says, "Nvidia has
previously qualified numerous products using eutectic solder bumps using the same bump suppliers,
substrate vendors, underfill and assembly sites as this device. Qualification data is available
upon request." This information backs up our previous assertions that this is quite widespread
among all their 65nm and 55nm products. Qual data is available "Now," it says, and samples on July
1, 2008.
Page 4 has the same diagram, and indicates that the eutectic bumps are marked the same way as the
G86 ones, with a trailing R on the lot #. Because it is etched on the die, you have no way of
knowing which one you have until you take it apart, pull the heatsink, clean off the thermal paste,
and read the laser-wielding chicken scratchings. Most stores won't let you do this, and NV is going
to be mixing the dies up until they burn off inventory. This means you won't be safe until long
after the card is irrelevant, say later in Q4.
The "Recommended Action" and contact info is the same as the G86 PCN, and the Revision history has
an Initial Release date of 06/13/08. There is no blank page 5 on this one, it is just the
disclaimer that was on page 6 of the last one.
While Nvidia is playing these PCNs off as nothing to worry about, they are. The fact that the
defective chip problem extends to the G92 line like we said earlier is bad enough. It pretty much confirms that the problem is the
same as the "Small batch of EOL laptops parts only given to HP," that they warned about in July.
The bigger problem is that it affects the newer 55nm parts as well. Those were supplanted in a
number of days you could almost count to on your fingers and toes if you grew up in a small town in
Appalachia, never a good sign. In fact, qual samples were available before the 9800GTX+ actually
launched.
It is hard to overstate how bad this is. Basically every 65nm and 55nm Nvidia part appears to be
defective. It is not a question of yes or no, but how defective each line is, and what the failure
rate for each one is. We are hearing of early failure rates in the teens per cent for 8800GTs and
far higher for 9600GTs, so this is not a quibble over split hairs.
To make matters worse, Nvidia has a mound of unsold defective parts that they are going to bleed
out into the channel along side of the (hopefully) fixed parts. As a buyer, you have no way of
knowing which one you are getting, and it looks like Nvidia isn't keen on helping you figure it out
either, that would cost too much.
Until Nvidia comes fully clean on this fiasco, lists all the defective parts, and orders boxes
clearly marked, you can't say anything other than just avoid them. Then again, since doing the
right thing would likely bankrupt them, we wouldn't hold your breath for it to happen.
Oh Snap

News/release from rck
Another day, another release :-) This one I developed much quicker than PONG extreme. Apparently,
PAlib is really easy to use.
Essentially, PolyTouch is a very simple polygon manipulation gui. You get a polygon with up to 25
nodes and can drag the nodes with the stylus. You can also modify nodes with the d-pad, reduce the
number of nodes down to 3 as well as scroll between the nodes with shoulder buttons and the Taito
Paddle.
The idea of PolyTouch was to create a simple vector sprite editor for retro stuff like Tempest,
Asteroids, BattleZone, and maybe some new ideas in that direction. Of course, the current version
still needs the basics done, like saving and loading, and maybe frame-by-frame animation
capabilities. But it's a start.
There are known bugs in this release, like for example some weird graphics-memory overwrites, when
you reach certain borders of the touchpad by dragging. Not sure why, but will try to narrow them
down eventually. Download and Give Feedback Via Comments
