Apple Inc. to Pass Intel as World's Top Processor Company: Report - also the best of the web

I've been warming up for the next links roundup. I've found some interesting links on Apple Inc. Intel and Twitter.

To kick it off, who's been talking about Apple? It was www.eweek.com with their write-up entitled Apple to Pass Intel as World's Top Processor Company: Report.

What did they point out about Apple? Well...:
Apple is ontrack to overtake Intel as the world's top mobile processor company, researchfirm In-Stat is expected to announce in an upcoming report, according to Infoworld
and went on to say
Apple uses itsproprietary information in building the A4, A5 and A5X processors used in itsiPhones and iPadsor rather, provides the brains to the brawn of Samsung's foundry, atleast in some cases. PCs are now Intel's major domain; but with global PCshipmentsseeing sub-2-percent growth last year, while smartphone salessoar and tablet sales remain on a track to overshoot PC sales, Apple couldhandily beat out Intel.


Next up it's a site that's been writing about Intel - Tech Advances Could Result In More Open Government.

They wrote:
Writing in the International Journal of Intellectual Property Management, Mohamed Chawki of the Center for Terrorism Law at St. Mary's University, in San Antonio, Texas, argues that current laws regulating transparency in the USA inherently assume that the disclosure of information can inform the public, stymie government operations or create great harm
... OK ...
Legislation is meant to balance the disclosure of information for the public good against putative harmful effects. However, who is to determine what is a good and what is a bad effect?


Finally we have Twitter Says It Has 140 Million Users from mashable.com, focussing on Twitter. They made a number of good points, particularly
Twitter celebrated its sixth birthday on Wednesday by dropping an impressive stat: The network now claims 140 million active users
and
In a blog post feting the event, the company also boasted that its network sees 340 million tweets a day. "That's more than 1 billion every three days," the post reads. "However concisely, it turns out there's plenty to say."
