Nit pick: The article says he's been at Intel for "nearly 40 years". According to Wikipedia he joined the company in 1974 [1]. Still a long time though.

Is 38 not nearly 40?

My point related to the title of the HN item, which is "Intel CEO Paul Otellini retiring in May after 40 years with company". This is different to the title of the original article, which doesn't mention the duration.

Huh, when someone says nearly forty years (in connection with human lifetimes) I assume the margin of error is at most a year. Human lives are too short and years too long.
