Brushwud and Thread, supercomm show this week has more life in it these days. More vendors, more marketing dollars being applied, as if there's general agreement the downturn is finally over. So when does the next downturn start and what will trigger it? Intel has a large booth at the show and is promoting wimax, etc. During Intel's sessions, they had participant polling where the audience is quizzed on comm technology. Someone from my company got the highest score in one of Intel's sessions so received some nice stuff. The life of the show is better than the days when the industry was completely drowning in over capacity of fiber, where telco vp biz devs were scrambling to find capacity consumptions to fill their pipes. Regards, Amy J

engineering employment in the valley is way down, brushwud. We know this. Take a look at HP/Agilent, one company (or two) championing this options drive, citing doom and gloom and the chinese threat if we don't continue to keep options. Well, it is these companies themselves creating the chinese threat because they are offshoring R&D, with core development work outsourced to foxconn, SLR, and Celestica now. So, with engineering gone who is left as the recipients of the options pools anyway? Most chip houses have half the employees they used to, or less when number of options granted is NOT LESS. Draw your own conclusions.
