Being successful is a crime now apparently.
Disgusting.
Intel was one of the true innovators, always ahead of the game.
We bemoan the lack of job creation at our largest firms, but it wasn't always the case. Big business could be the job creation engine that small business is. They are ideally suited for divisional experimentation and small business innovation (through funding/merging/etc.).
Why doesn't this happen?
Onerous taxes, regulations and a legal environment that rewards massively trivial harm and legal leechings.
Excellent tagline!
Another thread yesterday was on 0bama's quote to investigate and punish companies that "improperly" control "too much" of the market for their product or service.

Happened to Microsoft in the 90's too, and millions of people lost a ton of money because Clinton went after Microsoft.
Intel stole their current design for their microprocessor. They are crooks and it is catching up with them. This is no surprise to me.
No, but underhanded efforts to squeeze out any competition ARE illegal.
Read the article, FRiend.
No, not always. Just recently.
AMD was longevity / performance king for many many years and I’m sure after the retool they are working on now they can beat out Intel again. (with a integrated gpu/cpu combo if done right)
Its just a back and forth - with the noted observance that this gen round however - Intel pulled way far ahead horsepower wise in the cpu market.
