Intel

hi specuvestor,

Andy Grove's parents sent him away to US, allowing him to escape the Holocaust. Isn't our DNA made up of our past experiences? I don't think we can expect many people to have such formative years. But we can't rule out the coming generation of refugees that US take in on a regular basis.

I do agree that having a previous underdog and competitor offering to take you over (whether cheap or not, is another question) is really the ultimate insult.

To be specific Intel was not paranoid enough about handheld devices and GPU that it was half hearted in Xscale (using ARM) and Atom chip, as well as moving to just good enough integrated graphics for windows

On the other hand Netflix history has been textbook paranoid.

It's ironic that Intel's Grove was the one that coined: Only the paranoid survive

Now even once underdog ARM wanted to buy a part of Intel on the cheap
