No doubt about it, but the article is talking about a hypersuccessful megacompany (that manufactures 60% the world's microchips) compared to other megacompanies in tech. I'd also point out that we are talking about hardware which is always, always harder than software. Show me a famous purely hardware company founded by a 19 year old college drop out.



You mean Dell? It was started in Michael Dell's dorm room at the University of Texas after dropping out.


He didn't design anything, he started by putting together PC upgrade kits.


If you're trying to say that Dell isn't a hardware company just because of where they started, I don't know what to tell you.
