Question GIGABYTE vs ASUS Spat - Apology by GIGABYTE ?


I was browsing Tom's Hardware & saw this Ad:



If you are unable to see the AD, here is the same:

Quote:
1st Image of GIF:
We sincerely apologize for any offence or confusion we have caused and appreciate ASUSTeK Computer's understanding
GIGABYTE UNITED INC

2nd Image of GIF:
GIGABYTE hereby issues an official apology to ASUSTeK Computer for the following:
1. GIGABYTE has falsely compared our product against that of ASUS in our Spring Break Plug Fest Events.
2. GIGABYTE has jumped into the wrong conclusion on the ASUS EPU features.
3. GIGABYTE has used photos of capacitor explosion occured on non-ASUS products against ASUS.
Clicking over this AD redirects to the Gigabyte official page.

Dunno if it is True ? Can anyone clarify the same ?
NOTE: The ads are random.

For anyone who didn't hear about the spat, check these links:
