Smart move by Intel. They should never have bought it in the first place. One of my favorite quips about it was by a stock analyst who said, five years ago:<p><pre><code> Intel might as well have bought Whole Foods </code></pre> <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reuters.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;us-dealtalk-intel-idUSTRE73K7ZZ20110421" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reuters.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;us-dealtalk-intel-idUSTRE73K7...</a>

Valuable things (hardware) are sold to China, junk is sold to private equity.
