Is Intel the next DEC?

 
Seems unlikely. DEC essentially ignored personal computers. Intel isn't
making that kind of mistake - it's a big player in a complicated market,
and while it clearly didn't make the right choices in the automotive
business market, there are lots of other markets where it still seems to
be doing well.

They're outsourcing marketing to Accenture.  Surely marketing should be a
core competency for any substantial company?  You need to understand the
product and the customers, and I can't see how a third party agency is going
to do that better than the company itself?

Ah, Accenture has an AI.  That makes it alright then.  All fine, most fine,
nothing to see here.
