Intel Seeking Moore's Law Original Publication

ackthpt writes "Gordon Moore's famous prediction, labeled Moore's Law, was originally published in the April 19, 1965 issued of Electronics. Sometime since, he lent out his copy and it has never been returned. Intel would like an original copy of the now defunct magazine and is offering $10,000 for a copy, presumably in good condition. The story is carried on Reuters, and if you happen to have a copy (of your own, not stolen from a museum or library) you may contact Intel via eBay's WantItNow."

Local vernacular

[AtariAmarok]

"I believe the local vernacular is "shared."" In the local vernacular, the term "shared" is used a lot for file sharing. It is technically, legally, and morally impossible to steal when participating in file sharing, as files end up duplicated and nothing is taken, let alone stolen

If someone had "shared" Intel's magazine, Intel would still have it, and the other person would be in possession of a perfect copy of the one that Intel had. This is not what happened here.
