Who TF is Bill McIlvaine, the author of that article?

It sure would be nice if somebody let him know that you cannot build semiconductors in empty buildings, even if they are called "fabs".

"There are enough empty fabs out there," remarked Scalise. Intel Corp.. for instance, last week snapped up a vacant shell from Rockwell International Corp. in Colorado Springs, Colo. (see Feb. 2 story ).

Additionally, both Micron Technology Inc. and Texas Instruments Inc. have fabs currently sitting empty in the United States. Hyundai Electronics has two in the U.K. -- in Scotland and Wales -- while Infineon Technologies still has the shuttered North Tyneside fab that came with its spin-off from parent Siemens AG.
