Sadly, I have no mod points, but I just feel compelled to state: That was hella funny!

I think Anonymous Coward is just having some fun with ya'll and trying to get a rise out of you. No one would likely really be that bizarrely obtuse and stubborn on such a subject. Apple's design input (and financial support) into ARM goes back to the 1980's. From wikipedia... "In the late 1980s Apple Computer and VLSI Technology started working with Acorn on newer versions of the ARM core. In 1990, Acorn spun off the design team into a new company named Advanced RISC Machines Ltd.,[27][28][29] which became ARM Ltd when its parent company, ARM Holdings plc, floated on the London Stock Exchange and NASDAQ in 1998.[30] The new Apple-ARM work would eventually evolve into the ARM6, first released in early 1992. Apple used the ARM6-based ARM610 as the basis for their Apple Newton PDA. In 1994,"

The problem with various transplant approaches is that they don't cure type 2 diabetes, since it's the reactive cells in the body that are resistant to insulin, rather then the insulin producing cells not working. And in type 1 diabetes, the autoimmune reaction will destroy any transplanted cells over time, just as it did the original cells. I think the future is in polymer encapsulated islet cells, where transplanted islets (hopefully grown from the patient's own dwindling supply) are coated in a polymer that allows insulin out and O2/nuetrients in, but selectively blocks antibody's.
