Intel Says It Will No Longer Sponsor Science Fairs

http://fortune.com/2017/02/15/intel-science-fair-sponsorship/

No surprise here with BK and the Board so focused on 10nm and FAB42. Sponsoring Science Fairs is irrelevant.

BK has second class IQ and his track record of leadership is in line with his academic linage from San Jose State. It isn't a surprise TMG and now Intel is going down with him at the top. Science and technology not important in this new leadership, look how product and technology is doing under the new keadership

BK and these stupid decisions are an embarrassment to Intel. Is it possible that executives truly do not understand the value of sponsoring science fairs and helping to develop talent with brilliant students interested in technology and science? This is a sign of really bad decision making that will continue to plague Intel...

How much is it worth, when I was growing up it was Westinghouse, still hard for me to think there isn't the Westinghouse award, probably was cheap advertising as every high school scientist for generations past will remember that aware and wonder about the company. Let that be a lesson in marketing and technology!

Intel one could argue could use that kind of name recognition too with the next generation of genius looking to change the world. After all even if they are majoring in Physics, Match, Chemistry, Biology or such, they need have computation to execute their genius models. Oh yeah they will likely soon be running that on the ARM powered workstations and harnessing a billion + smartphones too. Intel who cares going the way of Westinghouse, Kodak, and the long list of great companies that died not because of technology, but of terrible management.

Smart move BK!

Epic smackdown of clown shoes fake brain CEO BK by CRB:

Mr. Barrett disagreed. In an email, he said, “you might instead conclude that Intel is a company of the past, just like Westinghouse when they dropped” sponsorship of the national science fair in 1998."

Hahahaha ... awesome

Pretty sad, iconic tech titan making billions in profit. Willing to pi$$ millions on Brady Super Bowl and many other wasteful things to further the brand. But not willing to spend a few hundred million inspiring the next generation of young America educated intellectual elites that will go on to the best universities with some positive memory of intel and its iconic ring. Nah better to waste billions on tablets and failed mobile and other silly but destined to fail initiatives.

BK will go down as the worse of the CEOs, happy I worked at the company when our executives graced Time. Love to tell the stories about how phucked up the company is since the MBA and SJ state graduate took over

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Great quotes calling our Krzan-itch (new STD?) on this (see below). Another says he's now assumed the Trump anti-intellecualism mantle. A CEO we are so proud of...

(see: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/14/technology/intel-drops-its-sponsorship-of-science-fairs-prompting-an-identity-crisis.html)

"Mr. Krzanich has told colleagues privately that the science fairs were the fairs of the past and had become tilted to life sciences and biotechnology, not primary fields for Intel, according to two people who are not authorized to speak publicly for the company.

Mr. Barrett disagreed. In an email, he said, “you might instead conclude that Intel is a company of the past, just like Westinghouse when they dropped” sponsorship of the national science fair in 1998."

This is another casualty of the newest marketing regime - focus is on millenials and gamers. The Maker movement also never embraced Intel's weak efforts in Edison/Galileo, so why sponsor a science event that would essentially just be a programmer's exercise on Core products? Another example of the dumbing down of America.

How much does intel spend flying bozo people in business class to Asia, Europe, and Israel? The number of intel business class flyers in lounges across the globe pissibg money away on FTF while the company goes down the drain is astounding.

Thank you got the SJS fluff3r flying to the whitehouse to blow Donald on Fab42.

The company is past the tipping point and executives have pi$$ed its future away.

The leadership isn't known for their philanthropic efforts. This is not news.

Hey spending $15 million a year in STS and ISEF is a waste of money, but spending $300 million in SJW initiatives is a priority. This is lizard-brain BK logic.

Remember when for 57 years it was Westinghouse and then that iconic American technology company fell on hard times.

Then Intel took over, appropriate as it was the new technology power house of America! It was the Super Bowl of completions for the next great generation high school stars that go on to MIT, Stanford, CIT.

Intel didn't even last a decade as CRB, PSO, and the bozo from San Jose State have pi$$ed away the technology lead. The x86 golden goose is dying and the tree stooges failed to find the next growth engine. Dang even when Apple came the arrogance of Intel declined the next great thing. Now the bozo chases every fad after the fact.

No wonder he canceled the program BK was giving awards to kids with double his IQ.

The premise is correct about 10nm but what can BK or the BoD do?10nm is Sohail and Mark's career ending legacy they will leave.

Why sponsor science fairs when you can fund social justice instead? A science fair might reward a white or male kid, how horrific!
