Re: Brenda Walker's Blog: Intel Disseminates Diversity Propaganda (To Benefit Itself)
Beyond the fact that Intel's rock star video advertisement starring Ajay Bhatt is very much redolent of self-serving diversity propaganda, the company is rather disingenuous in referring to Bhatt as the "co-inventor of USB."
The USB was an initiative involving
numerous engineers from
a consortium of companies that included DEC, Compaq,
Microsoft, and National
Semiconductor
(among others) in addition to Intel
The physicist
Freeman Dyson once said "A good engineer
is a person who
makes a design that works with as few original ideas as
possible. There are no prima
donnas in engineering."
That is certainly the case with Bhatt.
Furthermore, UC Davis
Professor Norm Matloff adroitly
pointed out (in reference to another favorite of the
India Inc. Lobby, Intel engineer and purported
"Father of the Pentium"
Vinod
Dham) that on modern
engineering projects like those
involving the Pentium or USB, no one is indispensable
including
Indian nationals at U.S. firms exuding a
holier-than-thou attitude toward their
American colleagues.
Perez lives in the Fort Worth area.
