Correction: we have the resources. We just don't want to allocate them and would prefer that you did the work instead.

I would think that any company that's lost as much money for as long as AMD has has a right to say that they don't have the necessary resources.

The mere fact they are losing all this money means they DO have the resources, they just routinely waste them on stupid shit (seamicro/raptr etc).

Perhaps it's just internal politics: the company did in fact allocated the resources, the people put in charge failed to do their job, and once their screwup goes public they opt to shift the blame elsewhere.
