1. Comment - Intel declares 'best quarter ever,' after 34% annual jump in revenue

   (Jul 14, 2010 - 7:33 PM)

   Gee... Apple announced similar massive (and I mean MASSIVE) record corporate profits ($3.07B on $13.5B revenue) in Apr 2010 when the average person was presumably struggling to get by. I don't recall seeing any calls then for Apple to drop their prices to give everyone else a break - or any accusations of Apple being beyond greedy in the current economic climate. On the contrary, Apple and Steve Jobs are widely lauded and revered for their success.
   (NOTE: Intel employs ~80,000 people worldwide while Apple only employs ~35,000 - who's 'beyond greedy' now?)
   
   And at least Intel still employs a not insignificant number of US-based production workers (huge production wafer fabrication facilities in AZ, NM, and OR) - rather than have all their products contract manufactured in Asian production houses under near sweat-shop conditions.

2. Comment - The DTV launch is a shambles, say FCC commissioners

   In the words of Bill Cosby: 'Come on people!'... this isn't that hard. The date for this coming conversion and what people need to do has been in the national and local news for at least 2 years. This is just another display of how infantile and helpless we as a people have become in continuing to look to mommy and daddy government to develop a 'program' to spoon-feed us everything from cradle to grave. No wonder we've got a $10T national debt.
