Absolutely the last Intel Post!!!

OK, I know I promised yesterday would be the last post on the Intel bloodbath, but humor me here, ‘cos there’s a great piece entitled “Intel announces employee surplus:” on SiliconValley.com. As they put it, cost cutting is a sign of failure, not success. Wrapping up with… “Good job they spent all that cash on a new brand identity program.” Rumours on Mad Ave put the cost of that little exercise somewhere between $6 and $8 million.

As someone at Xerox once said after they'd spent $3 million with Landor to change the name from Xerox – The Document Company to The Document Company – Xerox. Well if it cost that much, it must be worth it! That's it... I'm done.Intel.bmp

Hey, that's worth $6 - 8 million of anyone's money. If you've got it!
