It might be best to switch to a '100% of households' tax at say £110 per year.
The total cost ain't even a single pint of beer per week highlighting the value of the collective.
It is also worth mentioning that the upcoming removal of BBC 3 is looking extremely suspicious.
Get the wrong directors/trust workers and we suddenly find people plotting for privatisation cash bonuses earned from corrupt thinking by those 'who would be king'.
Personally, I thought AMD was winding down its PC businesses, sticking to both serving Xbox and Sony.
Looking inside shops I gather they are 99% there, so is this all a pretence that Intel does not now have an absolute x86 monopoly.
(I'm ignoring the PC business where they still have a presence, mainly via home builds.)
China really fined them for conflict of interest to prevent that a monopoly that we can all see happening.
Competition ensures development and that is what helps ARM.
Just maybe the rest of the world will see that the mobile patents reducing choice down to one in many a country, though that might get corrected to two.
The second being Intel who have enough patents so as not to be blocked out.
So 'then there was two' ?
Seems using Exynos they might now have one build for the whole world market.
And remember, it was those Qualcomm patent charges that made it cheaper for Samsung to adopt Qualcomm rather than to use their own kit.
It is much the same the world over, all being to do with having the lowest cost base.
Yes, Embrace , Extend, Distinguish.
The bottom line is that this is good for Pi sales. And if it it encourages actual open systems to expand then the means justifies the end.
I'd suggest cheering on Cyagenmod but the the money grabbers in charge seem to be heading to grab some swag out of the "Embrace , Extend, Distinguish" cash pile.
