Is Dvorak the Michael Moore of the computer world or what??? I call it "militant ignorance". Look at his so-called history of the semiconductor business. Yes, the concept of CMOS was developed in the early 60s but there was no way to make it practical until the late 70s/early 80s - a monumental task.
People like Dvorak and Moore make me sick. They're unhappy people who like to trash others to cover their own shortcomings. My reply to them is this: go out there and do it yourself! You're obviously more intelligent than the bozos at Intel who "stumbled" onto the microprocessor. Show us knuckle-draggers how to do it "right"...

He can say whatever, but when Intel's LCOS shows up in cheap widescreen HD TVs this winter, I'm buying. Just in time for the Superbowl. Hopefully the 1090p will be available by then.

I'm trying to gigure out, by the time you get to the end of the article, whether he said anything.
Is there something on the near horizon that suggests people will quit buying faster computers? I know it doesn't take much to surf FR, but after a while, a ten second boot time seems like an eternity.

What a butt head....
The price declines in chips have made the economy go. Cheaper and faster chips has meant the creation of new generations of technology and hence, wealth creation.
He makes one point and that is that CMOS is coming to the end of its road. In 12-15 years it will hit its wall according to many tech experts.....
welcome to the world of nanotechnology.

The semiconductor business is actually aging, uninventive and indeed decrepit. The underlying invention that constitutes the entire industry is the integrated circuit.Well, the automobile business is based on a far older invention, the internal combustion engine. Nothing much has changed in that field since about, what, 1910? I suppose GM, Ford and Toyota better worry about going out of business, too. Oh, wait, by this guy's reasoning, they should have worried about that around 1950 or so.
Intel forecast margins of 60%. 60% margins with a dominant market position! And that's not good enough for the Street. Gag me.

Next to Dan Gillmore, Biz Editor for the SJMN, Divorak is the dumbest writer in the computer industry.
His big claim was years ago how MIPS ment the end of Intel.
