Pictured below is Mike Magee, photographed by his wife and son, proudly wearing the Intel Secrets merchandise. Robert Collins, who runs the site, awarded Magee the prize after he pointed out that Intel had tried to register the loop, outside, as a trademark. (Story: Intel registers loop to stop people going inside)) Collins awarded the prize because that story amused him. Intel has tried to trademark the squiggly thing... Forgive Mike if he looks a tad loopy...he was trying to remain serious while wondering how the digital flash camera would look in Boots the Chemist... prize You have to admit, he looks better this way than in a Bunny Suit... ®
