San Jose (CA) – It’s supposed to be Nvidia’s big week in San Jose, but the people from “Unite Here” are crashing the company’s big party.  As people streamed into the city’s convention center and the Performing Arts Center for Nvidia’s keynote to be held by CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, a fluorescent green flyer was not-so-sneakily handed out to Nvision attendees on the sidewalks outside. 

Boldly printed on the front of the paper was “Find the flawed chip … and you could get NVIDIA FAIL!”  The back of the flyer has an excerpt from a Wall Street Journal article about Nvidia’s recent notebook chip failures.

We don't know if the organization has contacted Nvidia yet about their activities, but the bottom of the flyers clearly states that it has “No affiliation with Nvidia.”

In a prepared statement, Unite Here vice president Jim Dupont accused Nvidia of “putting the burden of Nvidia’s chip failure on consumers and said that Nvidia wll have to "recall their defective chips.”
