Apple plans to support the PA Semi chips for the military

A while back we noted that Apple had acquired the chip maker PA Semi, apparently to get its hands on the chip company's power efficient technology. Just after the deal was announced, however, there were some worries that the government might not let it go through because PA Semi's chips are used in a variety of military applications and Apple did not seem interested in keeping the actual chip fabrication going.

Now the Register reports that Apple is going to keep supporting chips (though it won't be introducing any new ones). I wonder if they'll include those free Apple stickers to put on the missiles?
