Hi, Karen! Nice to see you. Here's something...
...very 'anecdotal' from my little life today.
Next door neighbors are moving this weekend.
One of the friends helping the cross-town move is a Ph.d electrical engineering who works for INTC. I didn't know INTC had R&D (research & development, or the 'laboratory,' -- both common tech 'terms' for the design engineering function -- here in Austin. INTC was building a high-rise in downtown Austin and scrapped it -- half-built, a year or two, by now, ago ... TP and other Austinites may be able to post more .... with links ... about that.
This guy worked his ass off for many years to acquire that Ph.d.
In a casual conversation this afternoon, I asked him what he thought about INTC's future and current stock price.
He said that INTC 'has a great future' via the box (PC) makers AND mobile phonemakers selling into the third world.
I asked him if the infrastructure for online connection was
'in place' in India, Pakistan, China, etc....
Like, ELECTRICITY...
He didn't know.
This employee of INTC -- one of 300 here in 'chip design,' he says -- says what I heard at least 6 years ago ... via QCOM-style pumping by the company and analysts -- about that 'lucrative' opportunity OUS. (outside United States.)
Just reporting everyday life from the high-tech 'bullish' Central TX operation -g- ... much courtesy of Michael Dell...
"He Got His."
You know, one of those types...
