Did you guys see that the U.S. International Trade Commission testified on our behalf in the Apple suit? It looks like we might have an actual chance of winning this thing, at least partially? I was certain we would be laughed out of court, but now... — read more

Any risk in giving more than 2 week notice (say 3 weeks) ? I want to give enough time for someone to ramp up with my work before leaving and also stop taking on additional new responsibilities which my manager seems keen on giving me . Can I be asked... — read more 

I am from Qualcomm India. The notice period here is of two months. But I want to leave early. Is that possible? I am even ready to pay some money as a penalty.

I heard some layoff packages are starting to roll in RTP? Is it a 2-month out package? Do you know how many will be impacted. My guess is 300. It is a joke they go back and forth on server design/support. No clear headway from the top execs. How can... — read more

Can we really take on Intel in the PC space?

Seems a couple of teams will be "offshored". Just want to know where / when / which teams will be offshored? Any hint?

What are your thoughts?

Layoffs sting no matter what the circumstances, they just do. Remember the best way to get out of a jam is any way you can. When layoffs happen, there' s no way of knowing whether or not to take it personally. So don't. Because it isn't personal -... — read more

I got my notice for a few months down road as last date of termination. If I end up finding a job before then does anyone know if I'll still get severance?

Good luck QDT and Raleigh.
