From Cary Yang:
In the article “Working for William Shockley” [1], I noticed a factual error that apparently was not caught during the review process. Fairchild and Intel were two separate companies, and neither was ever part of the other. The only tangible connection I know of is the fact that Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce left Fairchild in 1968 and founded Intel.
Reply from the author:
Thank you very much for this important clarification. The intention was to state that for them, Moore and Noyce, Fairchild became Intel. Both companies coexisted all those years until today.
