Intel’s strategy for the future is to go back to 2005. It was then that Paul Otellini, the CEO of Intel, turned down the opportunity to be the manufacturer of the chip that would be at the heart of the iPhone.

A significant chapter, or better said, a volume of my life, is over
When I turned 50 in 1995, I began to think about how my life would evolve. I realized that I wanted to have a home in the wine country of Sonoma, California. During this period, I had often been traveling to Italy. I fell in love with Tuscany but knew that it did not make … Continue reading

The good news is that it will be over soon because everyone will either get infected and/or vaccinated. The scary part is what may happen to the hospital … Continue reading
Will we still have microprocessors in fifty years?
The first Microprocessor was born 50 years ago (the Intel 4004). I suspect it would not have been possible to conceive of the possibility of the Microprocessor fifty years earlier back in 1971. It would take another 25 years before the first computer would be developed in 1945. Thinking about this made me wonder if … Continue reading
My most outrageous blog post ever
Here we are, almost two years from the time the Covid 19 changed the world, and this is far from over.
