Um excuse me. I must of been hallucinating when I drive past their HQ ever day in Santa Clara ,Ca.

Do they operations in Israel ? Yes but Intel is an AMERICAN COMPANY.

Cos we can't buy any new kit anyway.

Fuckin ell, we'll be lucky if we get the budget to power the current servers up the way this year has gone so far.

Actually, after understanding what are the real results from Indian R&D intel moved most of it in Israel. Core and its accompanying chipsets at least initially were started as skunkworks projects in Intel Israel division. At the same time the Indians were claiming that they will deliver faster, better bigger P4 next month, then the month after that, then the month after that while falsifying expenses. Satyam is not an exemption - Satyam like behaviour is the rule as the Intel Indian R&D debacle showed us a few years back.

However it is only Intel so far to admit it and take measures on the subject by moving their R&D to Israel.

So from an R&D perspective Intel is indeed an Israeli company.

Probably from a cultural perspective as well. It is quite clear that in a classic Anglo-Saxon mind the joy from seeing the other side "bend-over" in an indian outsourcing relationship is capable to overcome commercial prudence and ability to count the pennies. That does not happen with Jews. To be blunt nothing can overcome their commercial prudence. So the conjecture that it was Jewish influence that made Intel the only company to realise that Indian outsourcing provides solely bend-over joy and no delivery is not that far off.

So then you're saying the Jews are the only ones to realize , getting taken by out souring is dumb ??
