I'm not sure how the Linkedin leak is noteworthy. Preexisting information: 1) Apple uses ARM in the iPhone 2) Apple buys a company who makes ARM CPUs Would it not be negligent for Apple to not at least have a small team exploring this? Just because some chip engineer has a job doesn't mean that so much as one IC will ever come from it -- companies investigate multiple options all the time. That said, it's still likely that this would happen; this seems like as good of a reason as any for Apple to have purchased a CPU manufacturer. I wonder if it rubs Jobs the wrong way to be making components for missles and other weapons. The media commonly portrayed him as a flower child a while back (decade plus ago).
