Any stories about big things to come, Apple has something exciting, Steve Jobs knows what he is doing, some master plan to take on the world blah blah blah. You guys need to realize that according to an article at the NYT and quoted elsewhere, Apple admitted to switching to Intel because IBM would not cut the price of the CPU's that Apple buys. IBM sees little profit from Apple now and would not budge, it was not worth a potential loss to IBM to keep supplying CPUs to Apple at a potential loss. It is nothing more then that plain and simple, it was a pure business decision for long term savings by Apple. A failed attempt by Apple to negotiate a lower price for a CPU, nothing else. Get over it man...
