Once they figure out how to stop using Samsung foundries for A5 and A6 processors, that will be true, but not yet.

It doesn't happen overnight. It can't.
But these plans have been in motion for a while. I expect an orderly transition. Hopefully Apple's thinking of all sorts of contingency plans. Intel as foundry? Why not?

Why not? I think they are implementing those plans. My point was just to say, that those plans need to be put in place to finish kicking Samsung out of the supply chain entirely. The job is not finished with just the displays being sourced elsewhere.

A week or so back, I took a look at Samsung components business vs handset business. These graphs do not include displays, which have been a poor performer for quite a while. Maybe Samsung decided that the copycat strategy was worth sacrificing the components business for. The diamonds at the bottom are Galaxy launch dates.

Another one. I had expected stronger correlation between Apple device sales and Samsung component sales. Quarters are Samsung quarters, not Apple quarters.

I see a joint venture long before that.

Not in Apple's DNA to make that large of an acquisition. Intel provides for competitors, Apple would not be interested. Intel is in the Mac line and its larger customers are slowing. I imagine Intel is ready to roll out the red carpet for TC.

Intel has an ARM license and could be a foundry for companies such as Apple (the way Samsung is in Texas, etc.). Maybe it's a matter of pride, control, revenues, margins? But the way things are going, with Intel feeling the heat from ARM, and ARM-based chips massively outselling Intel chips (I mean hey, look at smartphone sales alone), it might be a mutually beneficial way forward for both Intel and Apple.

Security alert for Samsung printers: macdailynews.com/2012/11/29/us-cert-warns-samsung-printers-contain-hardcoded-backdoor-account/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wordpress%2FxhfA+%28MacDailyNews%29“Printers manufactured by Samsung have a backdoor administrator account hard coded in their firmware that could enable attackers to change their configuration, read their network information or stored credentials and access sensitive information passed to them by users,” Lucian Constantin reports for IDG News Service. “The hardcoded account does not require authentication and can be accessed over the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) interface of the affected printers, the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) said in a security advisory,” Constantin reports. “The SNMP account found in Samsung printers has full read and write permissions and remains accessible even if SNMP is disabled using the printer’s management utility, US-CERT said.” Constantin reports, “‘Secondary impacts include: the ability to make changes to the device configuration, access to sensitive information (e.g., device and network information, credentials, and information passed to the printer), and the ability to leverage further attacks through arbitrary code execution,’ the organization said. It’s not just Samsung-branded printers that contain the administrative account, but also some Dell-branded printers manufactured by Samsung.”
