All the stuff he did in san fran was great. I also thought the skywalker ranch stuff was funnier, especially when he was hooked into the virtual toon suit. I was never really sure what to make of the Sam Wo stuff...

It's really a great place to work. The offices are well lit and the cubicle walls are low enough that you can see out over them if you stand up. The whole cubicle layout can give a cold industrial look to the place I guess. But I'm not too sure how they could do a different kind of layout. They have floors packed like that in every building and I doubt they could afford to expand to allow for a more open floorplan. There was even a "compression" phase that was going on when I was there. They were running out of room for the new hirees so they compressed some of the underling's (interns, new hires) cubicles to 3/4 size to add enough spots for the new guys.
 
pretty good.
after seeing those cubicles it makes me thankful i get to nef & watch the rain & traffic go by on the interstate from the 4 windows in my office.

well they ARE good at managing to put billions of transistors in one square inch, they should be awesome given the room of a few floors and a few thousands square feet.

you are correct, i haven't been there. i never worked there, i shouldnt be so quick to judge. but i just don't like the monotony. i would love to see him visit Google.

I've seen Microsoft's campus and it's really nice. They had offices for everyone and more amenities (Mmmm... free soda). Intel did seem a little... stingy... I guess being a manufacturer they have a strong mindset on minimizing overhead compared to some of the software companies I've seen.

:heart: I design processors mostly at the circuit/layout level mostly in the arthimetic section of the chip. But no biggie, I'm not an Intel fanboy. I bought an AMD 3200+ processor after I got my job because it was the best bang for my buck. (I try not to let my coworkers know though but then again no one really cares. It's nothing like the whole Coke vs Pepsi thing here.)

So, tell us more about just throwing two x2 chips together to make quad core instead of redesigning the architecture. 😛
