Dvorak Thinks Apple Will Switch to Intel

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the rumor-of-the-month-club dept.

SeanTobin was among several users who noted that Dvorak's latest column discusses the possibility of Apple going to Intel for future macs. Yeah, this rumor pops up pretty often, but I wonder how long before we'd get binary compatibility between other x86 unix OSs.

    Next month, Dvorak will have exclusive information on the release date for Duke Nukem: Forever!

      Is it just me, or does Dvorak always read like Jackie Harvey's The Outside Scoop?

      "What's this I hear about HP bringing out the successor to the iPaq next month? I think it's about time, the flat screen and metal arm design always looked like an orange attacking a sheet of paper.

      Item! Steve Bellmar and the wacky crew at Apple Computer will be releasing their next computer, which will use Intel's Itanium processor. Careful, or that'll be a baked apple!"

      Separated at birth? I think so.

  3. Standard Rumors by Snowspinner · · Score: 5, Funny

    I say we combine the standard rumors. Apple is being bought by Intel! Apple will go out of business shortly after using Intel chips! Or, perhaps, for maximum efficiency of rumor: Apple will go bankrupt, be bought by Intel, which will then be bought by Microsoft! Excuse me, my tinfoil hat needs adjusting.

  5. Dvorak will switch... by mariox19 · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...from Prozac to Zoloft.

    In a development that will shock both the PC and pharmaceutical industries, PC pundit John Dvorkak will be "switching platforms."

    Long known for his schizophrenic pronouncements concerning the Macintosh platform, sources close to him have confirmed Dvorak's musings have been caused by an adverse, though subtle reaction, to his psychotropic drug regimen.

    "Yeah, he's said some crazy things in the past," quotes Dr. Sanghar Mumji, Dvorak's long-time psychiatrist. "You've got to cut him some slack though. Psychiatry isn't an exact science."

    Industry analysts predict the dawn of a new day for Dvorak. One analyst, wishing to remain anonymous, remarks, "John has got a long road back, but I've got faith in him. I hear he's working on a Newton story."

    His article comes from the April issue of one of those newsstand PC magazines. It was supposed to be funny.
