We were told (hyped) about Marisol over many years. A technology which was soon to allow us to use a phone in bright light. We all believed. We were all thrilled that Q had perfected Marisol to the point it spent billions on a fab plant. We all believed- especially since the kool aid was being served by management. Of course the result was no product, no contracts and a useless plant.

Servers follow much the same hyped path (absent the plant).

Im old enough to remember MSFT being famous for announcing vaporware; Q belongs in the same class.

I hear those who pin the blame on APPL, INTC, regulatory agencies, etc. I prefer to blame management who were unable to see and avoid the litany of external and internal issues.
