Hopefully Stacy Smith reads iHub too so that he can now right the ship thanks to your brilliant observation!
It's been a while since we've seen a downgrade from any of the analyst community. Normally I would expect one of them to try to take intel down a notch here but now I'm thinking negative sentiment may be drying up. What are the chances of seeing 23-24 before we see 28-29 (assuming level stock market)? Will a better entry point be forthcoming?
Dmcq thinks they're harmless...I don't understand his thinking.
How does stealing your customers design NOT qualify as 'using cooperation to stick a dagger in'?
Samsung is a cooperative company.
With friends like this who needs enemies.

are you saying that Santa Clara hq is not furious with JPM today for questioning their "bet the farm" mobile strategy?
yes that's exactly what I'm saying.
Actually, it's very rare for a WS analyst to criticize a large company like Intel.
Your credibility down another notch. Your comment above plus the one about TSMC decision makers reading this board put you on the precipice of ignore (which I guess is what you are working towards).
Here is one analyst who thinks Intel should give up on its mobile strategy.
Meb Keflezighi wasn't winning the 2014 Boston marathon at the mid-point of the race. If he'd have just quit he would have unlocked more energy (EPS) for enjoying the rest of that day :) At the conclusion of the race I'm betting he had burned up a lot of energy (EPS) to win it. But now what lies before him having won?
I hope you meant XP and not NT :)

I posted my household usage model here:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=101172461
I don't expect anyone else to take the time to also do this but it would be very enlightening to learn just how ubiquitous this tablet usage really is amongst even this small sampling. But of course people would no doubt slant their numbers to fit their agenda (I didn't though :)).
Aren't PCs great? They are.
I don't have near the complex setup in my home anymore as you but in our household of 2 adults and 1 grandchild our 'at home' computer usage model is approximately this:
8" tablet 4% - games, netflix, youtube (kids), occasional email, FB
10" tablet 3% - games, netflix, youtube (kids), occasional email, FB
Netbook 1% - Handy Manny on youtube only :)
Desktop 50% - Financial, news, research, IT consulting, email, FB
Laptop 30% - FB, email, message boards, IT consulting, photo edit
iPhone 12% - message boards, news, candy crush, some email
I'm curious how others really use their devices although I don't expect to be able to find out. I just don't get why anyone would want to be on their tablet to do anything other than basic consumption.
What is real computing?
I think we could safely say that sending a tcpip packet that contains a URL and rendering the markup that is returned in another packet is NOT real computing.
Anyone here want to try turning in their work PC for a tablet? I’m not going to the front of the line.
My tablet collects dust on the coffee table. I find it somewhat useless, maybe I'm too old for this paradyme shift but I prefer my phone for casual content reading (news, message boards, IMDB etc.) on the couch. The only real use it gets is when my grandson comes over and he might watch a netflix movie on it or play one of the worthless free Windows games on it.
I will be looking to a bigger phone or a new notebook as my next device
Home bias is usually considered a bad thing for your investments.
Oh was he talking from an investment perspective?
Having worked many years for a multinational American tech company, I do understand this. In fact I watched it transpire in my own department over a 30 year period. But I stand behind the sentiment of my original statement.
Now do I want to visit Taiwan or Dubai or Soul (sp?) and spend some time there? Absolutely I do!
never understood why there is so much 'dislike' on this board towards TSMC..
Not speaking for the board mind you, but for me it's simple...INTC, QCOM, AAPL, HP are US based companies, TMSC, Samsung, MediaTek, Lenovo are not.
I will always hope that US companies are more successful than foreign based companies. Why? Because I'm American. And my kids, friends and family are American. And I want the best opportunities in all industries including technology for those that live and work in this country. Yes it's American exceptionalism at it's best, I can hear the bells of jingoism ringing in the background!
Ashraf has left the building.
Wow that foolishness will get you ignored rather quickly around here. Your posts have to make some business sense. That one does not.
contrarian indicator?
this board had died. posters have capitulated. very little hyperbole either positive or negative. everything has been said that needs saying.
a contrarian indicator perhaps, finally time to start building a position in INTC?
He mentions writing C# would require a different tool but really just about any modern software, database or BI development requires local computing power and storage and preferably lots of it.
Here's my very conservative definition of 'real work': filing your own US tax return.
Will anyone in the country complete their 2013 return using anything other than a client PC?
If some hovers a drone over my pool is it ok if I blow it out of the sky?
If one hovers over my pool I won't be asking...I have shotgun that needs firing anyway!
It's like figure skater Yuna Kim losing the gold to the Russian girl thanks to corrupt judging.
Yep she was robbed.
Lol! <eom>
capture the heat vented externally from a refrigerator to cook food
Hmmmm food dehydrator/jerkey maker, I like it!
They do when training indoors.
So I now remember that you live in the north east where winter may force indoors to get your miles in and headphones might help drown out the din and possible 'bad' music that they play in there.
But of the runners that pass into serious training I've never met anyone in running clubs or 'long slow run' groups that would use them. There is too much of a need to focus on your pace, spits and surroundings to have that distraction. In addition that distraction subtracts from the true essence of an outdoor run, the exception being when people first start running and they need the distraction because they really don't like being out there :)
train for that half-marathon with more intensity.
Sorry but real runners don't where headphones.
this thing will be stuck trading in a $24-$25
Selling (and repurchasing) covered calls has been working for the last couple of weeks. Just sayin...it is a way to play this thing.
If MSFT decides to kill win8 in favor of win9 then Intel can make handstands and they will not succeed in the next 5 month.
Is this because buyers will delay their planned PC purchases until the 'dust settles' on a new MSFT OS? But if Win8 is updatable to Win8.1 and Win8.2 then there is no need to delay and PC purchases can continue their stabilization (and comeback)?
A truly awful code error...
During peer review I always pushed back to the developer any code block that use explicit brackets around the code block even if it was a one-line block (like the goto fail; line).
So the code block should have been required to be:
if (err != 0)
{
goto fail;
}
And the coding error would look like this (but would NOT result in the 'fall through' error that caused the problem:
if (err != 0)
{
goto fail;
goto fail;
}
I'm ready to make an investment. Where do I send the check?
Reading this thread on the 'Nietzche Dead' joke was a very entertaining diversion. It's amazing how people can go on and on about one historical statement.

Maybe we'll get another demo of someone reading a story to their child while interacting with a tablet!
Will MWC provide any positive catalyst for Intel stock price next week? Or will we remain range bound for a while?
Is any number material to earnings though? 20, 40 or 60
At Intel if a contractor (whether strong or weak) asks for a reference managers are required to give this reference: 'yes, he worked here' :)
That article reads like an exact rehash of the article from a month or so ago. All the same names and catch phrases, I read nothing new here.
This is the power of the AAPL brand.
Yes but the genericization (if that's a word) of those product names is bad for AAPL if it really takes hold since kids (and eventually adults too) will ask for an iPad for Christmas and be perfectly happy with the Intel tablet that they get. Companies with lot's of money (like AAPL) will battle this genericization tooth and nail but sometimes it can't be stopped.
will iPad become the next Kleenex?
I've noticed my grandson calls my Dell Venue Pro tablet 'my iPad'. I keep calling 'my tablet' around him but he continues to use 'iPad' when asking where it is etc. (he has an iPad in his home). This newest generation may just start to see all of these devices as generic consumption device 'iPads' just like we ask for a Kleenex when we need to blow our nose.
