Re: How can ideas be controlled?
If this was ever likely you be a threat.... Apple would just outbid them with it’s massive wad. Esp. In light of the move off Intel for Mac.
It’s has had squabbles with various suppliers over the years - Samsung, Sharp, Motorola, IBM, Qualcomm, Intel, Imagination... One with NVidia will just be another.
As said above to keep things equitable an industry consortium owning them (ARM) would be the best outcome for all.
Similar to Daimler Benz, BMW and VW Group - as a collective - owning between them the ex Nokia SatNav and Mapping tech last with a public outcome as Here Maps on Window’s Phone.
