It seems a touch fanciful to us, but some analysts are wondering if Intel could go the way of Nokia. What is true is that at least one big company with a big Irish presence is in a spot of bother. Let's hope its recovery plan works.
But it is a reminder that many a once great company has disappeared. Who remembers that Nokia once was as dominant as Apple?
The US regulator has declared Google to be a 'monopoly'. That could have profound consequences.
Whether or not technological obsolescence and/or the regulator is coming for big parts of the tech sector, one thing is certain: if they can't turn the lights on, they will go elsewhere. Power supply is becoming an urgent issue.
All this in more in our weekend edition. Enjoy!
