ARM: The Non-Evil Monopolist
yootje writes "ZDNet is running an article about ARM, a chip-maker who controls more than 80% of the cell phone market and 40% of the digital camera market. ARM shipped 780,000,000 processors last year. ZDNet finds it strange that no one seems to have anything against this company. And maybe it is strange: according to the article many would say ARM is a monopolist, but you never hear anyone say 'ARM sucks!'. But then again, why would they?"
GNAA Leaks Info about Apple's Next Major OS
Los Angeles, Ca - With only 3 days left before Steve Jobs announces the new features in Apple's next major version of OS X, version 10.4, codenamed "Tiger", GNAA members Gary Niger (known as JesuitX on the Internet), and pending member Ron Delsner leaked screenshots of the upcoming Operating System to the popular mac rumor's site MacRumors.com. See the discussion thread for this at The MacRumors forums.
Gary said at the press conference, "We know the gay niggers couldn't wait until Monday to see these new features, so Ron and I took the initiative and gave them to MacRumors.com ourselves."
Ron Delsner was quoted as saying "I hope the GNAA recognizes my effort to help the gay niggers of the world. I would hope they offer me membership."
As always, Rolloffle was unavailable for comment, as he is a British douchebag.

> Following on from her success with BBC Basic, Sophie Wilson was asked to help with the instruction set, testing it by hand, on paper.
Heh... BBC basic....
Amazingly fast... too bad it also didn't do any garbage collection or freeing of memory of no longer used variables and such... I recall wondering for a while how they got it as fast as they did.. untill I got my hands on the basic roms.
For that matter.. the ARM was first used in the Acorn Archimedes wasn't it?
With this slashdot arm monopolist love-in why don't we send some love to our other favourite monopolist? Send one of those gmail invites to bill@microsoft.com
Yeah, like referring to the USA as a "democracy".
