About credibility.

Does anyone else feel that the multitudes of statements that intel's execution problems have been "solved" leaves just a teensy-weensy bit of disbelief.

I mean it was just a few weeks ago that Barrett exploded with rage in the widely circulated memo about intel really not doing their stuff.

What happened in those few short days? I mean did the archangel Gabriel come down and annoint all the researchers. There's hardly time for any results to shore up the "its fixed" claims.

More likely a whole lot of foils have been adjusted, schedules pulled in on critical paths - whether it can be done or not.

Meanwhile there's a whole lot of senior foreign scientists doing a "Berners-Lee" (inventor of WWW, leaving MIT for grayer climes over the other side of the pond). My neighbor told me last friday that researchers were leaving Amgen in Thousand Oaks, CA in quite large numbers, to return to their countries of birth. Something to do with the meglomania coming out of DC I believe.

So its pull in the schedule, dust of the resume, call mom in Bangalore and start making preps for the trip.

Well we'll see if intel's firing on "all 8 cylinders" won't we.
