Apple hired IBM’s "top expert in Power architecture and technology." IBM liked that idea so much that they decided to sue Apple. Mark Papermaster, who served as IBM’s vice president of microprocessor technology development, is set to join Apple within the next couple weeks to begin working closely with chief executive Steve Jobs. According to a report by Tom Krazit of CNet News, IBM’s complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York indicates that IBM believes this is "an attempt to expand Apple’s presence in the markets for servers and chips for handheld devices."
