I finished reading Michael S. Malone's book "The Intel Trinity" the same day one of its subjects, Intel's Gordon Moore, died at 94. Coincidence.

This book is about Robert Noyce & Gordon Moore, founders of Intel plus early employee & future CEO Andy Grove.

It's partly about the technology and silicon valley, but mostly about the people and I'd recommend it for that.

#GordonMoore felt that the lesson of #Microma was that #Intel should stay out of consumer products. But the WHY is more important: Intel never had a plan and wasn't ready to adapt to changing consumer tastes or to market their #DigitalWatch effectively. In the end, #Seiko and #Casio succeeded by following the Microma business plan but also listening to customers.

Intel co-founder, philanthropist Gordon Moore dies at 94

Moore, who held a Ph.D. in chemistry and physics, made his famous observation — now known as "Moore’s Law" — three years before he helped start Intel in 1968. It appeared among a number of articles about the future written for the now-defunct Electronics magazine by experts in various fields.
