Is qualcomm "walking the talk"... Qualcomm promised shareholder that it willbuy bac shares - worth $10B. When is that? post July 25? with that qualcomm will lose another 10B cap.
Why is QCOM legal selling their stock?
Look at insider sales. Don R head of legal for QCOM and Alex R legal and head of royalty group both SELLING. Why sell a winner? Maybe legal has some serious doubts about the outcome of their battle with Apple?

Paul Jacobs to be the next CEO of Intel?
Or SM? Or Murthy? Or Amon?
Intel CEO out
This is certainly interesting. Intel CEO has been ousted for having a relationship with a coworker. Somehow I doubt that was the real reason he was shown the door, but it served its purpose. The only thing I'm worried about is that Intel might get... — read more

What happened in the end?
Is the deal with NXP approved or not? Reading conflicting reports on this.
Some good news for a change
Looks like the NXP deal wasn't approved and it is unlikely to happen due to Republicans finally growing some balls and standing up to the idiot Trump by forcing the US to enforce sanctions against ZTE - I predict the Chinese will withhold approval in... — read more
