Intel's Hunt for Moore's Orginal Article

On April 11, 2005, Intel posted a $10,000 reward for an original, pristine copy of the Electronics Magazine where Moore's article was first published [1]. The hunt was started, in part, because Moore lost his personal copy after loaning it out. It soon became apparent to librarians that their copies of the article were in danger of being stolen, so many libraries (including Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) located and secured the articles. The University of Illinois was not so lucky, however, as the day after Intel announced the reward, they found that one of the two copies they owned was missing (silicon.com, 2005). Intel has stated that they will only purchase library copies of the article from the libraries themselves - it would be easy to determine as most libraries bind their old magazines and it would require cutting the article from the bound book if a thief were to sell the article (NC News Wire, 2005). Intel ultimately awarded the prize to David Clark, an engineer living in Surrey, England who had decades of old issues of Electronics Magazine stored under his floorboards.
