What the hell is ARM?
I hate it when tech-heads just rush into using the latest buzzword without explanation.

Establish this rule, oh ye writers! For 1 year after a new term appears, every article mentioning it must explain, in parentheses, what it means, and not just by giving the words that form the acronym.

This is not generally done. Not even in magazines that present new technology to the public.

The writer met your requirement, then. ARM has been around for more than a year. (More like 20 or 30 years).

But I think your standards are too lax. Buzzwords should always be explained in the popular press unless 80% of the populace knows what they are without prompting.
