Subject: An interesting internal Synopsys slide; assuming that it exists

I got an interesting phone call from one of my Silicon Valley readers who
said multiple people had told him that they had seen a slide inside Synopsys
that looked like:
       
Supposedly the slide was at an internal SNPS executive meeting.

To be honest, I have no way to confirm this, and I seriously doubt that Aart
would send me this slide even if it did exist.

I did find it interesting that it implies that Berkeley AFS has now made
the "Official Enemies of Synopsys List", though.  Say hi, Rajeev!

And just like Magma, I guess this now means BDA won't get to show at the
"Partner's Night" at the 2012 Synopsys San Jose SNUG meeting...  Oh, well...
