Even that was in 2005. Any charges have expiration, and once exonerated can not be brought up again.

Much changes over 15 years.

There isn't a statute of limitations on murder in PA.

The front page has an article about a processor from 42 years ago. What's your point?

That you can't estimate how current processors will match your expectations based on how 42 years ago processor matched expectations of people living at the time.

If 42 years ago Intel sold a processor that burned my house down, I might not be the biggest fan of Intel even 42 years later. This isn't about expectations, it's about reputation. Not everyone has a goldfish memory.

MacBooks and Samsung phones had fire problems just a few years ago. So you seem to be wrong.
