I worked for Intel for 25 years until a year ago.
It used to be one of the finest companies in the world.
The DOJ/EU threatened it with multi-billion lawsuits unless they did what they were told.
After 911 and .com crash, something happened which changed the direction and it got much worse under Obama.
The impact of these sort of things is that they cause incalculable damage to American brands around the world, which is why companies like Apple are digging in their heels about this sort of nonsense. Trust is a coin that is hard earned and easily spent.
