Inquirer calls out NVidia over materials claims

It looks like The Inquirer has caught NVidia with their collective pants down over materials used in the production of some of their graphics chips.  The short version is that high lead content solder used to bond the chips to the board were failing at high temperatures due to cracking.  NVidia knew about this problem and rather than recall all the affected parts, they continued to sell them alongside good new parts which made their way into laptops from many of the major vendors including Apple’s new Macbook Pro.  The problem is that while they were shipping both parts, they were telling everyone that only the corrected parts were being shipped.  The Inquirer went so far as to have a lab disect a retail MBP and saw it’s motherboard up into slices that could be analyzed with an electron microscope and a mass spectrometer.  The evidence they found proved NVidia was lying to their customers.
