In the "open forum" at corporate headquarters in Santa Clara, California, streamed to Intel employees around the world, Krzanich said the layoffs and buyouts announced in April are meeting Intel's targets.

Why an Intel/McAfee split makes a lot of sense
VentureBeat
GUEST: Rumors have been flying lately that Intel will be "separating" McAfee, which it acquired in 2011. While it's never safe to put too much faith into rumors until all the facts are known, in this case, the rumors make a lot of sense. Here is why it's likely to happen. Intel bought McAfee at a time when PC sales were still healthy and increasing at a good rate.

Life is short, though I keep this from my children.
Life is short, and I've shortened mine
in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways,
a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways
I'll keep from my children. The world is at least
fifty percent terrible, and that's a conservative
estimate, though I keep this from my children.
For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird.
For every loved child, a child broken, bagged,
sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world
is at least half terrible, and for every kind
stranger, there is one who would break you,
though I keep this from my children. I am trying
to sell them the world. Any decent realtor,
walking you through a real shithole, chirps on
about good bones: This place could be beautiful,
right? You could make this place beautiful.

Quantum 1, classical 0: Bell nonlocality universally confirmed in any large communication complexity advantage
Phys.org
by Stuart Mason Dambrot (Phys.org)—The relationship between communication complexity problems, Bell nonlocal correlations and the advantage of quantum over classical strategies has long been recognized, but has been confirmed in only two problems. Recently, however, scientists at University of Cambridge, University of Amsterdam, CWI, QuSoft, Gdansk University, Gdansk University of Technology, Adam Mickiewicz University, and Jagiellonian University employed a two-part method based on port-based Read the full story
