10 years ago Intel was starting to realize that mobile phones might be popular. They had every advantage to understand and shape the future and somehow managed to not understand mobile chips and graphics cards–which they manufactured both for a long time, would be important areas of computing.

It’s not sad, it’s pathetic and a testament to poor management being able to kill a company despite all possible advantages.
