Can we use the "D" word yet?

Intel Corporation, whose microchips drive virtually all high-performance personal computers (other than a few driven by AMD), is laying off 5,000 workers and closing five plants and will experience its first loss in 22 years.

This is more than the canary croaking in the coal mine. This is a whole freakin' *flock* of canaries croakin' in the coal mine, all at the same time.

Ground rules: Comments that consist solely of insults, fact-free talking points, are off-topic, or simply spam the same argument over and over will be deleted. The penguin is the only one allowed to be an ass here. All viewpoints, however, are welcomed, even if I disagree vehemently with you.

WARNING: You are entitled to create your own arguments, but you are NOT entitled to create your own facts. If you spew scientific denialism, or insist that the sky is purple, or otherwise insist that your made-up universe of pink unicorns and cotton candy trees is "real", well -- expect the banhammer.
