Apple/Intel Speculation Running Rampant

Posted by Hemos on from the is-it-anything dept.

6031769 writes "ZD Net are reporting a rumour that Steve Jobs will announce Apple are going to move to an Intel chip base at their worldwide developer conference today. Still just a rumour, but could this be the masterstroke Apple have been promising or is it a blind alley?" Lots of submissions about this one, but no one knows for sure - there have been stories about how AMD is hurt by this - but I think my favorite debunking of it is the piece by John Gruber on Daring Fireball.

    It's a singular noun. Hell, if you want to see how to use their name, just look on their webpage. Even on ZDNet's UK webpage, they refer to themself as a singular noun.

    I see such a high percentage of people on Slashdot make this common mistake that I find it quite odd. It's as if they're trying to sound overly proper to impress each other, but in reality they're using incorrect grammar which makes them sound uneducated.

    Hell, I'm not usually one to correct someone if their grammar isn't 100% correct, but when someone uses grammar that doesn't even *sound* correct in addition to being factually incorrect, it bugs me.
