Jim,

If you've followed the chip industry, you will probably already know that they are quite secretive about their processes and the tools used to implement those processes.

They seem to view this as one of their strongest competitive advantages.

Thus for the $30B of capital investments annually, Press Releases occur for a very small fraction only.

Criticizing any of the companies for acceding to its customers' desires strikes me as disingenuous.

FWIW,
Ian.
