    Wow! I thought the new $66m Vestas headquarters was big news.

    "Oregon's chip industry is abuzz with talk that Intel plans a new development factory in Hillsboro, a multibillion-dollar project that would cement the region's place at the center of the chipmaker's research and manufacturing work and provide a colossal boost to the state."

    it was a HS thing. Anytime we saw nerds at the Applebees on 185th, we assumed they worked at Intel.

    Great news for Oregon.

    I'm shocked that state officials haven't tried to block this because they want to use the land for a skateboard park or dog run.

    I guess there is still time for those idiots to fuck this up.

    I could care less what they do in their off time; I am just happy any time there are prospects for jobs in Portland. I have way too many friends struggling right now.

    Hey! I eat there! (seriously) And I don't work at Intel... at least not for a few months... because they did just buy the company I work for yesterday. I am a geek btw... but we totally rule the nerds.
