...fact is, Silicon Valley's top chipmaker would be hard-pressed to find a better-qualified candidate. Otellini has been with Intel since 1974 and once served as technical assistant to the legendary Andy Grove, Barrett's predecessor. Last year, as Intel faced cutthroat competition from rival Advanced Micro Devices in a declining PC market, Otellini sat down with his engineering team, which wanted to make a new microprocessor for laptops. His big idea: since laptop owners add wi-fi cards to their machines so that they can surf the Internet wirelessly at any hot spot, why not build wireless...
...companies have an heir apparent as obvious as Paul Otellini. For nearly two years, the chief operating officer of Intel has been sharing the presidency of the company with CEO Craig Barrett, who has been grooming Otellini to take over when he reaches the company's mandatory-retirement age of 65 in 2005. The modest Otellini, 53, eager to avoid any appearance of a coronation, will say only that the top job is "something I'd like to do" and that Intel has a "very orderly transition process...
...Korhonen, 34, is one of them. PC Doctor, his diagnostic software company based in Emeryville, Calif., was mushrooming with clients like IBM, Hewlett-Packard and Intel--but state taxes and high costs were a drag on growth.

The Bangladeshi native and his family had grown attached to their ethnic community in the Bay Area and thought of Reno as a dust-choked gambling town. They have...
...like warchalking.org debate rages over whether the practice is legal--or moral. The law is kind of fuzzy here, especially since each state has its own definitions of trespass in the virtual world. In California, thanks to a recent state supreme court ruling, it's relatively clear. A former Intel employee who used the company's network without permission to send 35,000 anti-Intel e-mails was cleared of wrongdoing. Since he hadn't injured the network itself, the court ruled, he hadn't broken any trespass...
...President made the charge in his State of the Union speech in January. The commotion had for the most part died down when Wilson broke a year's silence in July and wrote a New York Times op-ed piece criticizing the Administration for having "twisted" the intel in order to "exaggerate" the Iraqi threat. Wilson had a revelation of his own: it was Cheney who had approached the CIA, asking questions about the implication of an intelligence report on Iraq's seeking uranium in Africa. The CIA in turn responded by asking Wilson to embark on his trip. Cheney...
