Good. It&#x27;s well deserved. If anything, they should be looking into Intel&#x27;s <i>deep</i> subsidies for Atom, to make it reach price-parity with ARM chip competition, to the point where it&#x27;s causing them losses of $1 billion every quarter.<p>That&#x27;s not how a &quot;normal&quot; business usually operates. Imagine if Apple started subsidizing its high-end iPhones by $450, selling them at $200, unlocked, to eliminate most competition (since you could buy a $650 phone for $200), simply because they could do that with their cash reserves. Yet this is exactly what Intel is doing right now.<p><a href="http://www.electronicsweekly.com/news/business/intel-lose-1bn-quarter-mobile-year-2014-04/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.electronicsweekly.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;business&#x2F;intel-lose-1b...</a>
