Stay tuned here for the Gordon Moore keynote/speech at 12:15pm PDT (3:15pm EDT). Gordon Moore, Chairman Emeritus of Intel and forefather of the high tech industry will be speaking today at Intel Developers' Forum here in San Francisco.

more after the jump.

12:14- waiting to startup. Full house in the Moscone West

12:17-the show's starting. Lots of PCs up on stage.

Mythbusters! Jamie and Adam explaining Moore's law on the screen.

12:20p-Pat Gelsinger is up on the stage to introduce Gordon Moore, Moore co-founded Intel, author of Moore's law, etc.

12:21p-Moore takes the stage.

12:25p-Dr. Moira Gunn, NPR host on Tech Nation takes the stage, she will be moderating/interviewing.

Moira is telling a story of Pat Gelsinger as a greenhorn at Intel. Moira is using the Tech Nation format for the interview.

Gordon Moore Googled Moira when he found out that she was interviewing him.

in the early days, William Shockley recruited Moore. Shockley was one of the inventors of the solid state transistor at Bell Labs.

12:27p-Moore and 7 others in the "Traitorous Eight" (look it up on wikipedia) left Shockley's lab to start Fairchild Semiconductors.

In the early days, Integrated circuits were seen with distrust, since electrical engineers were used to looking at and testing individual transistors and resistors. ICs worked eventually because they were demonstrated to be cheaper and more reliable than individual components. Sounds like the current trend of integrated graphics, sound and I/O jumping into CPU design now.

1965-Seminal article about semiconductors (before Intel). ten years later the name was coined: Moore's Law. Moore had problems claiming ownership, but he's OK with it now.

12:38p-Intel is responsible for Cubicles: Santa Clara 4. The office space was a huge empty place. Faced with building a "prison block" with lots of walls doors, and no windows. Instead, they put engineers first, then everyone into cubes. Moore has the biggest cube on campus. So if you love/hate your cube, you know who to blame.

Is there an end to Moore's law? Yes, there is a limit. Fundamental limitations of electronics: speed of light and the atomic nature of electronics-Stephen Hawking. Another decade to go-Moore.

Can other industries innovate as fast as the computer industry? Yes. The innovation in biotech is similar and could theoretically go faster.

what would you advise younger listeners to study for the future? Biology, Interfaces between Biology and technology. Without the computers, Bio researchers can't do the things they are doing.

what would the world look like without the Integrated Circuit? Western Electric (the tech manufacturing arm of AT&T) thought that a transistor could go down to 68 cents eventually. Now it would be 10 pico-bucks (in an IC).

Steve Jobs-"the technology road is bumpy". Moore was 10 years as CEO. In the 80s, Japanese IC makers were reverse engineering US patents. Moore feels somewhat guilty for the current strength of the Japanese High Tech industry. Later, Japan became one of the leaders in innovation, quality and price.

Wasn't sure the US semiconductor industry could survive the 1980s.

What innovation has surprised you at Intel? Huge wafers (300mm wafers) for CPU production. Moore didn't think they would get that big. Moore facetiously thought that they would be 57-inches in the 2000s (extrapolated from 3 inch wafers in the 1970s). Also, testing processes have gotten better to the point that testing cores takes mere seconds.

If you had another career what would it be? Moore has enjoyed being an innovator, so something that would be at the start with innovation.

How has your role with Intel affected you over the years? Financially, rather significantly. "Still got the same wife."

12:56p Moore Foundation-Promoting Science, higher education, the environment, Nursing. Came about from Moore's reflections while deep-water fishing in remote locations.

Graphic user interface is current, how will people interact in the future? Good language recognition in a computer, you can then have an intelligent conversation with a computer, good translation of languages. Will bring others that are not interacting with technology into the greater computing community.

Moore started with Chemistry and Physics. What should engineers look for the future? Moore: in my experience, the esoteric wasn't as important as the basic things: make it a part of what you do, remain grounded in our work. Look for innovative solutions.

Other ideas for names instead of Intel? "Moore noise electronics" was one of the jokey ones, 15 or 20 other name considered. They ended up having to buy Intel from a hotel company in the Midwest shortly after registering it.
