	Traitorous Eight - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Traitorous Eight at Fairchild Semiconductor in 1959.
		The eight men then resigned and signed a research contract with Fairchild Camera and Instrument Corporation to form Fairchild Semiconductor.
		Like many other Fairchild employees, seven of the eight went on to found various spinoff companies (Victor Grinich became a professor at UC Berkeley and Stanford University).

	Fairchild Camera and Instrument - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fairchild Camera and Instrument was a company founded by Sherman Fairchild.
		In 1957, the company was approached by members of the Traitorous Eight to rescue the group from the mad tyranny of William Shockley.
		Sherman Fairchild agreed to provide the venture capital for Fairchild Semiconductor, from which would spawn dozens of semiconductors and Silicon Valley.

	Sherman M. Fairchild
		Fairchild was not only an indefatigable investor in those fields, but his inquiring mind also led to patents on such disparate products as engraving mechanisms and carriers for fruit picking (the latter his last patent at age 73).
		Fairchild's curiosity and inventive mind were obvious early and they were encouraged by his father, who was a remarkable man himself.
		Fairchild was honored by his scientific and technological colleagues with fellowships in the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences and in the Royal Aeronautical Society.

	Fairchild Channel F
		Started in 1957 by Sherman Mills Fairchild under the umbrella of his Fairchild Semiconductor in itself was well known as one of the pioneers in semiconductor research (Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce, co-founders of Intel got their start there).
		Fairchild responded in kind by changing the name of their console to the Fairchild Channel F. However, the blocky graphics were starting to show their age already (if you can believe that) when compared against the 2600's higher resolution blocky graphics.
		By 1978, Fairchild had only released 21 cartridges for the Channel F, and the consoled that had changed home gaming consoles for ever was dead after only a year and 4 months on the market.

	ClassicGaming.com - The Museum: Channel F
		The Fairchild VES was designed at Fairchild Camera and Instrument Corporation, most known for their subsidiary Fairchild Semiconductor, whose chips the console was based around.
		Fairchild's new console featured plug-in cartridges that contained ROM chips with actual microprocessor code, rather than dedicated circuits like those used in the plug-in cards of the original Odyssey game system.
		Fairchild was no exception, and they discontinued the Channel F just after the 1977 Christmas season.
