A5: All Apple, Part Mystery

PabloSandoval48 submitted a fairly lengthy story running on the EE Times about the A5 processor that powers the iPad 2. The story talks a bit about the A4 and A5, the IP issues surrounding the chip, and more. The real question now is what comes next.

Let the people choose

I am also fine with visitors blocking ads, though I consider it somewhat unethical as well and so don't do it myself (beyond blocking Flash which at this point is just a usability necessity).

What I object to is someone presenting an article, making the choice of ad and content presentation for the user, and for the site. A site aggregator like Slashdot should let each side proceed using whatever choices they want to make about how to present the article. What Slashdot is doing in theory is pretty similar to overlaying their own ads on another site (since Slashdot also is presenting ads and then giving a link to ad-free content).
