I'm suprised that no one has mentioned that although Acorn Computers is no longer with us, the company directors became ARM, i.e the processor core behind it is practically in everything including the kitchen sink.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture

If you aint got a ARM core embedded in your phone your sure to have it in the DVD, the DSL router, the washing machine and the TV.....

"ARM's 2006 annual report and accounts state that royalties totalling £88.7 million ($164.1 million) were the result of licensees shipping 2.45 billion units" ..... Easy Money....Don't make anything, just milk it. ;)
was Enterprise Vault (Its an Exchange Fail!), now its EMC Avamar, Dedupe for mostly everything including brain cells.
