Every 1 million spent on these ventures would have added 10 engineers to teams that contribute to the bottom line. 10 billion could have funded another CPU or GPU product line. Sorry I don't have a business degree or certificate I may be missing something here.
I remember the id--tic, self satisfying look on that bimbo Krzanich's face when he announced buying out Basis and declaring these watches to be the next "BIG" thing. Haha!
Some product lines actually gave out Basis watches as prizes to contest winners at the yearly Sales Conference. I wonder if the lucky recipients can sue for damages.

SF is gone
He'll continue to do his imaginary projects at Intel until he finds a suitable opportunity outside Intel. These people who do the least work, don't get laid off or suffer like the most hard working employees, who are disposable at a moment's notice.
CMO SF wasn't fired, just removed from his CMO role. He's still employed and collecting a pay check from Intel, apparently working on special projects.
The last burning product was the basis watch :)
@vai, @hke - CMO SF got fired in May, and MH is filling in while they are still looking for a new CMO (and a CEO, just thought I'd mention). In a situation like this, any re-branding is going to be Job One for the new CMO, so they would clearly pull any remaining time slots from the networks. I'm sure that was also per direction of acting CEO BS, who likes to save money where he can.
SandyBridge and Nehalem. The Xeons ruled. So did the laptop SKUs. The new announcement about ultra low power display seems interesting. Silicon photonics maybe?
@vai - Intel is not relevant anymore. 20, 15 or even 10 years ago the commercials were fun and interesting as Intel still produced relevant technology. Now they are just a waste of money. Nobody cares about an outdated dinosaur like Intel.
Take notice there aren't any Intel product TV commercials anymore. They have no products to offer the average consumer. Fifteen years ago one couldn't go an hour on any network without seeing three Intel commercials. Now there are 't anymore. Either this is a real fall from Grace, or TV commercials have not worked just another failure.

Centrino probably had the biggest effect on technology of anything that Intel ever produced.
