philipah: I wish I could have bought some at 72 and change. Believe me anything that Barrons writes about any company is usually negative. They haven't had a good idea in decades. If they convince anyone to sell then take the opportunity to pick up the shares as Barron's doesn't know a chip from a chippy. The article will no doubt be filled with the same stuff that has already been bandied about on this board for the past week. They will cite the various negative occurrences of the past week and the Athlon from AMD (vaporwafer in terms of profitability and supply -yield) and hyperbolate to a doomsday scenario for INTC. They will be about as right as Niles is on Dell. If they have an effect on folks that don't know the business and the price drops to where it is tonight buy all you can. JFD

interesting..... Sites Unmask Online Investors Before They Can Fight Back THE WALL STREET JOURNAL interactive.wsj.com ....Mr. Caldwell (SI) says the site receives about one subpoena a day, and in "about half" of those cases is able to give users warnings that the site is about to turn over their personal information..... "This is an incredibly tough issue for us. ... Whenever we inform someone that there's a subpoena for their information, people ultimately think that somebody is going to use this information to harass them or intimidate them. Sometimes, I think that's a very legitimate fear to have," Mr. Caldwell says. ....."I know at times this has a chilling effect on speech, and I really think that's tragic. ... But we're in a very difficult position," he says. "People sometimes say, 'My anonymity is everything, that's why I'm here. Why won't Silicon Investor defend me?' But ultimately, people have to be responsible for what they say."...." the article continues...there's quite a bit more...yahoo... aol...most people don't even know they've been supoenaed...whether you can defend against it even if you know (its tough)....what info is gained (subscription site like SI might include credit-card numbers and billing addresses)...whether sites warn people (they try but can't commit to).....etc
