Apple is very complex agreed. Apple had to depend on memory chips in the past. Depending on amd and intel for that memory. Now back again is the a4. Barco, Believe you said IBM and?

Enter the modified a4, which for a good guess is the a7 modified by samsung and maybe others to be made by Intrinsity for apple????? which is apple and made for other manufacturers also. Or is it just exclusive to apple? This puts apple into what category? manufacturer/quantas? designer of or input into their chips. not off the shelf.

Is TPL trying to gather info on say arm, or as you say, just another slam to us shareholders?
