I've been reading his drivels (in a good way) since the 90s. God speed "Mad" Mike Magee.
Supposingly he was friend with the current CEO of Intel, Pat Gelsinger. In the 90s during a meeting with Intel staff, Magee asked a very uncomfortable question and Gelsinger, then an engineer at Intel, kicked him under the table to stop him.
Since then whenever Mike reported news on Gelsinger he would write his name as "Kicking" Pat Gelsinger.
Magee also started Charlie Demerjian's career by hiring him as a freelancer at The Inquirer. Demerjian then made a name for himself by being a very accurate pain in the ass for Intel and Nvidia for years to come.

- enos_feedler 2y agoI remember meeting Charlie in 2009 at Nvidias GPU conference in downtown San Jose when I was working for NV at the time. It was me, Jensen and Charlie. I remember Jensen putting his arm around Charlie and pointing at him and making some jokes about what a pain in the ass he was. Thats all I remember, unfortunately. I quit drinking since then. At the time, Charlie was the celebrity not Jensen. I grew up reading the inquirer and saw Charlie's name attached to everything I read. Mike Magee created something that launched my entire career trajectory and gave a voice to a subject that I was so passionate about with no one around me to share it with. RIP
