Michael, What keeps pre-teen kids working in soccer factories in the third world at below subsistence level wages? What keeps a large section of the world's population away from democracy? Offer stock options to Europe and Japan and then check the resulting preference. Besides, I thought that you will find ownership sharing a positive thing. True, the world is not nice for a lot of people. A large section of them are screwed by their governments who find the (so-called) greed-based capitalist system unsupportable and strive to build kinder, gentler societies. I grew up in one such economy which is now rapidly changing. Towards capitalism, and for the better, despite the tears shed by citizens of the first world about the resultant socio-cultural loss that they must endure. Trust me, you don't need to cry for them. They aren't. -BGR.

Michael Bakunin, re: <Intel ownership of StrongArm> A clearer explanation? ARM licenses core processor designs to manufacturers that integrate their own intellectual property around the ARM cores. These chips are the property of the manufacturers. This is what DEC did to create StrongArm. StrongArm belonged to DEC and now belongs to Intel. Under license Intel has the right to develop new chips or variants around the ARM processor core. These would also belong to Intel.
