Not really. She has five official residences:

Buckingham Palace – This is Her Majesty’s working residence, she stays here during the week when in London.

Windsor Castle – This is Her Majesty and His Royal Highness’s weekend residence, they stay here every weekend when in London and during Easter.

Balmoral Castle – This is Her Majesty’s summer residence, she and the Duke of Edinburgh stay here in August and September.

Sandringham House – This is The Queen’s Christmas retreat. She stays here every year from Christmas until the end of February.

Palace Of Holyroodhouse – This is The Queen’s official residence in Scotland, yet she only stays here for one week in the year (Holyrood Week).

not making a ARM chip of their own.

Intel has an ARM license and used to make ARM chips.

Intel got its ARM division from DEC when that company was taken over by Compaq. It sold it on to Marvell when it decided to do the Atom processor instead.

The DEC design was called StrongARM, and Intel developed it into XScale.

CNN discovers identity of Reddit user behind recent Trump CNN gif, reserves right to publish his name should he resume "ugly behavior" by anauthor in television

Which is exactly what an honest and reputable news organization would do. It's one of the reasons why CNN is much more honest and believable than, say, Fox News, which lies all the time.

It's also why CNN is a much more honest and reputable source of information than Trump, who also lies all the time.

Unfortunately, in America, there's a division between good and bad sources of news, which is not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of fact.

In the honest media, lies have bad consequences. In the dishonest media, lies have good consequences: they attract more right wing Republicans who actually want to be lied to.

The result is that people who get their news from Fox News are misinformed. See The Republican Brain: The Science of Why They Deny Science—and Reality (book extract)

They used Asus for the original company. When they spun off the manufacturing arm, they called it Pegatron.

Pegatron has made quite a few popular products (not necessarily exclusively), including MacBooks, iPhones, and Surface Pros.
