1965 magazine with Moore's Law target of thieves

A day after Intel Corp. said it would offer $10,000 for a copy of a magazine in which Moore's Law was first announced, a University of Illinois engineering library noticed that one of its two copies had disappeared.

There was a glaring space on the shelf where the bound volume containing the April 19, 1965, edition of Electronics magazine had sat for years. A librarian heard a student talking on a cell phone about the volume the same day. Ordinarily, the magazine is not a popular item.

Librarians at Stanford University and other universities say they are angry at Santa Clara's Intel for posting on eBay's online auction site a $10, 000 bounty for a copy of the magazine. The bounty was posted Monday.
