Apple has long served as a haven in the Valley for engineers with a taste for hallucinogens and pacifism. The same can not be said of PA Semi, which Apple recently acquired. The PWRficient processor was an instant hit among defense contractors building the latest in hyper-efficient killing technology, such as Curtiss-Wright Controls. As the EE Times reports:
"We've had customers saying they are going to the DoD on this one," said a source in one of the several companies making embedded computer boards with the processor.I'm sure Apple will be happy to simply license the design to a fabricator with no qualms about dealing in death. God bless America. (Via GigaOm)
