Intel On A Building Spree
Anonymous Cowherd writes "Intel will build two new facilities - a new chip plant and a new wafer plant. The new chip plant will be built in Kiryat Gat, Israel, continuing Intel's 30 years operation in the country. Intel already owns several facilities in Israel, both for R&D and for manufacturing. Previous developments of Intel Israel are the 8088 processor, MMX and the Centrino mobile platform. The new wafer plant will be built in an existing facility at Chandler, Arizona, and will feature 45nm technology - 1/1,333th the width of a human hair. The technology is two generations ahead of the current 90nm. Intel's Arizona operation includes production of the Pentium processor family and related chipsets."
Isn't Intel based in the USA? Interesting to see that in light of the latest tensions between Israel and the USA Intel is going forward with the new factory deal and that the US government is not preventing them from doing that. Then again, the US government wouldn't bite a feeding hand, would it?
You can't handle the truth.
Face it, Isreal is just another u.s. state... annual subsidies that run into the billions, financing "their" military with billions of dollars worth of our hi-tech equipment... it calls itself an independent nation but that's just a joke.. I wouldn't be surprised if Israel recieved more federal funding than many of the poor states in the u.s... and their habit of selling u.s. military technology & secrets to the chinese... at least they're making a profit.
It's not India or China for once, so this is original, it's good these things spread everywhere. A chip 'Made in the USA' doesn't seem all that impressive to me, may be for pick up truck 'Made in the USA' for for a chip... a Cell processor made in Japan sounds just as good. Or you can do like Apple, 'Designed in California by Apple' appears very big in the box and hidden somewhere you have the 'made in Malaysia' Israel has a lot of talent and impressive scientific achivements. I studied there for a while in the Israeli Institute of Technology and it is an MIT kind of institution. If they didn't go there they would still hire lots of people from there and take them to California. Jews have always been good scientists, Einstein, Oppenheimer and many many others.

That's overly simplistic. The fact is that TODAY the state of Israel is acting in an uncivilized manner towards people it is occupying illegally. If any other country in the world tortured people, took over private property, built walls, killed thousands of innocents, destroyed houses of people whose only crime was to be related to a criminal then they would be invaded by the US and the leaders jailed.
Notice that I am in no way, shape or form defending what the palestenians do, I am simply pointing out that Israel acts as an uncivilized nation. As the grandparent said, imagine if Mexico formed armed and walled cities in texas by displacing texans from their homes and then lauchned missiles into Huston every time an American shot at a mexican occupying force.
