Any other Intel folks know what they are smoking?

"...Interesting trip it was too – with the area yielding such gems as villes renamed from Hang Town to Placerville and the like, and hydraulic engines which blasted mountains to pieces.

Still, we got a little parched around lunchtime because unlike San Francisco the sun shines bright in El Dorado land. Nibbling at a tiny portion at Denny’s 24 hour breakfast joint near Folsom, we met a lass, not Eva Glass, who told us that Intel’s site there has many mysteries indeed.

Not only has it huge satellite dishes inside the campus, but there’s a dark area inside Intel Folsom which you can walk around but which apparently has no entrance or exit. One of the entrances might be a bookcase which revolves, or one of those other devices used by Jesuit priests during their hunting down in Olde England in the reign of the Faerie Queen, Elizabeth I.

But what’s inside this dark area, to which, it appears even Intel employees cannot gain ingress? We think we should be told.

That is the most poorly written article I've come across in some time.

A satellite dish is normal - it likely links all their compus' world wide, its what provides them network connectivity - lots of places use them.

a secret room is normal as well, Intel has some serious intellectual property and in many cases an employee would likely need top secret clearance in order to be around such information.

Top Secret intellectual property/knowledge is not for the average everyday employee....especially some dingy lady out telling everyone about it at a restaurant

From what I can tell this article was written by a dweeb who met some random lady at a restuarant then proceeded to believe everything she said - kinda goofy but then again any publication in paper or on the net called "the Inquirer" has to be read with some level of skepticism.

consider the publication and the author's resources.....any grammer school aged kid could write that junk

And here I thought they were talking about the "secret" hidden floor in FM1

And here I thought they were talking about the "secret" hidden floor in FM1 

Is that why the breezeway between FM1 and FM2 is so steep?

[ducky]

What Denny's is near Folsom? We don't have one anymore.

The kind of publications like the Inquirer Enquirer, or whatever usually take a small grain of truth and turn it into complete rubbish. My dad witnessed an incident involving a celebrity once and by the time the story was printed it was stretched and enhanced so much there was no truth left.

Different Inquirer -- they are a electronic (namely PC) industry news source out of Europe (hence their English isn't always their 1st language). They are geeky, but for Intel folks, they are sometimes the first source of information

[Solartide]

how are europeans getting info about us?

[jagayman]

All of our pets are actually highly-skilled, intelligence-gathering operatives.

I know all about them...we've seen their bs a lot here at HP - they are spin doctors of the electronic age.... they seem to like to write a lot of bad press about American companies - and they pull their info outta their lower regions...or listen to random people in restaurants

they make it up

Hey, this thread was referenced in the Inquirer today...
