Magazine Looks at TI's ‘Lunatic Fringe’
Fortune magazine recently examined how TI
spends time “searching for and encouraging
all manner of lunatics and visionaries”
because the company believes “that today’s
wacky idea can turn out to be tomorrow’s
billion-dollar industry.” And several
popular products have emerged from such efforts,
according to the story “Texas Instruments’
lunatic fringe” (Fortune, 9/1/06). Check
