Apple Senior VP Hardware Engineering, Jon Rubenstein, will head the iPod division, and Executive VP of Worldwide Sales and Operations Tim Cook will lead the Mac division. The report quotes a spokesman as saying, 'This organizational refinement will focus our talent and resources even more precisely on our industry-leading Macintosh computers and the wildly successful iPod.'"

    "Since the Ipods are soo dang hot right now we want to keep them the hell away from our personal computer division before they screw it up. Frankly they do good work most of the time but right when they have a good thing going they always like to dick with it and piss people off."

    P.S. I have never owned a mac.
