Subject: Re: children of spectre

I'll bet Intel will be no more within 5 years. I think I read Apple
will be manufacturing chips? Maybe I'll migrate to apple.

I do not see the outrage over these chip issues. I'm deeply concerned
over all of this. I have watched as we have become more and more
dependent on computers.

Intel had / has a fiduciary responsibility and they blew it.

I'm a software developer so when I hear CPU vulnerabilities are being
patched with software I cringe.
