Robert Norton Noyce also known as "the Mayor of Silicon Valley" was the co-founder of Fairchild Semiconductor in 1957 and Intel in 1968. Born on December 12, 1927, he would have celebrated today his 82nd birthday.
For the curious Robert Noyce co-invented the first integrated circuit which ultimately had an world-transforming impact, three presidents of the United States honored him.

Indeed it is true and the anonymity of Robert Noyce proves the importance of marketing oneself. Steve Jobs did exactly that. Not that his contribution to the world of science is less but i guess he over shadowed others.

Tesla was indeed an awesome guy. This is clearly shown in Charles Batchelor's letter to Edison.
