children of spectre

[techlists at phpcoderusa.com]

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.
