    Cynical remark about HP's misdirection. Outmoded sentimental longing for superior non-Intel processors. "If-only" scenario. Obvious comment about Itanium. Snarky unsubstantiated armchair prediction.

    While I've no idea how real the possibility is, one thing is absolutely certain: the prospect of HP-UX running on a Mac is not remotely interesting. It is, in fact, the most boring Apple speculation ever posited.
