In my world of manufacturing, Tier one refers to finished goods and Tier Two refers to pieces parts. So, the brands are in Tier One and the chip sets and operating system componets are Tier Two.

Of course, I have no idea if this is the same as RP mentioned. Either way, there are still a pile of mean ole copy cats to squeeze.

Did anyone notice that we actually got up and went to work today without the world coming to an end? Amazing how honest people can continue doing what we do without crooks and politicians telling us we are doomed. The DOW futures are up and I bet most of us can actually still tie our shoes and drive to work. Chicken Little is best served fried.
