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.

    Actually...the religion of Islam is very highly based upon Judaism, most specifically the Old Testament (and the New Testament, at that). Sure, he doesn't like Jews, but many Muslims don't because they believe that since the days of early Judaism they've been corrupted. Oh, and then there's the fact that modern-day Jews have stolen Israel and Jerusalem from them in the 1950s. Oy vey.

    This thread is false... Apple is releasing Safari as a PUBLIC BETA on their website : http://www.apple.com/safari/. Which is still up and running

    Future of user/subscriber go-everywhere & do-everything (GoDo for short) computing would include communications (GSM, WiFi 802.11x, Bluetooth, and IR/RF capabilities included). Still ... I would select Transmeta code-morphing processors as the technology edge for that future not Intel, Motorola, or TI ... though TI does now have a chip set that comes closer to the above stated goal for digital transmission systems. Transmeta code-morphing processors provide the ability to redefine operational spectrum requirements as you travel locally and globally with (I suspect, don't know?) less complex circuits/chip sets. The technology is known as Software Definable Radios (SDR). The future looks good to me ....

    Reality is a self-induced hallucination.

    A few points: 1) I do not engage in sex with other men. 2) Regardless, your idiotic use of the word gay is very offenceive. 3) Yeah, they really should use the new IBM 970's 4) Intel sucks.

    Run NetBSD if you want binary compatability.
