{HOAX} Nvidia's Derek Perez Assaults Charlie Demerjian (Literally)

[Dainas]

LOL, Charlie is armenian, so am i, he probably said something, we get pretty hard headed some times.

Haha, Charlie more like an embarrassment to Armenians... as if there were already not enough loud mouthed Internet thoughguys with an axe to grind and SOAD in their sig.

Disclaimer: This is a joke. It did not really happen. Though Derek did invite Charlie for coffee.

Oh man, I think Fugger's confirmation made me laugh more.

[JohnJohn]

I want to see round 2..... from vegas... with Jen-Hsun Huang as don King

Yeah.

Dang, too funny to be true I guess .

[thenrz]

Nah, I am sure Charlie was pushing buttons to get a reaction.

Journalists should be more professional, something Charlie is not. He would show up at an event all unkempt in a 1970's different strokes t-shirt with holes and try to pass out candy or show off NDA roadmaps to anyone who will listen.

He has a bone to pick with Nvidia and should be considered hostile.

Isn't it his job to play the devil's advocate? Companies need to be kept on their toes by the media (Ok, I get it, it's in INQ, but you see what I'm saying) to filter out the BS as get the facts. If he gets attacked, literally, by someone in upper management at nVidia, apparently he pushed the wrong buttons, but that's his job. If nVidia has something against theINQ, they need to release a better part and not attack anyone over a nice plate of delicious breakfast.

[flopper]

dosnt matter, if your from Nvidia you also must act professional regardless of the rules
go charlie go.

I guess charlie isnt the only one wanting to pick a bone with Nvidia, Intel is one and I guess the rest must stand in line

[VIctorj]

Reality check: Nerd body builders...ill be off to give him a run for his money...a55hole. (me body builder nerd).

[iddqd]

more as a sensationalist clown than a journalist.

There's a difference?

[Eldonko]

I knew it was bs from the mentos cannon thing but funny nonetheless. Perez ninjaed his dish of eggs right into Charlie’s face. haha

[Katanai]

This is one of the funniest thing I've read on a tech site. You gotta understand the man though. I've read just one article from that dude and he was saying Nvidia is Satan, can't find a link to post right now but the article exists, haven't bothered reading anything else since then. If he said things like that in front of an Nvidia employee he is lucky to have escaped with only this...

Best thing I have read all day.

[gOJDO]

Charlie is a jackass. He has been wrong so many times and when that is pointed out to him he becomes arrogant and ignorant. It would my pleasure to punch him in his face.

[ownage]

Did no one read this at the bottom of the article?

Yes and I mailed Charlie.

Yeah, it is really simple. I had breakfast with Perez in the Taipei Hyatt, and I told Peddie about it. He said "Breakfast? You mean he threw eggs in your face?" It kind of grew from there.

Still damn funny article!

lol, what an idi0t... assulting a member of the press...

If you’ve ever met Charlie, you know he doesn’t suffer fools, is quick to make decision, and not the most tactful person on the planet. Oh, and did I mention, opinionated.

i dont agree, charlie can be very tactful, but hes honest and doesnt play nice when he doesnt like somebody. and opinionated, yes, like everybody, again hes straightforward about it and doesnt pretend to be unbiased like most people. everybody is biased, and the ones trying hardest to appear unbiased are the worst.

The annoying thing about him is he’s often right.

hahahah thats only annoying when you try to prove him wrong

What an idi0t... not reading that it didn't really happen at the bottom of the article and also posted in this thread...

Not to mention the fact that calling Charlie "a member of the press" is an insult to people who study real journalism.

Hey man, that's a little harsh. The Disclaimer was not in the original article. it only appeard later, and I wasn't home all day to notify about it in the first post. It's edited now, but we did think it was legit before that.. He just missed it, that's all. No reason to fight over anything, it was all in a good spirit and was a pretty funny story nonetheless. Thanks for reading.
