Apple May be Intel Show Pony

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the what-does-this-mean dept.

Robert writes "Computer Business Review reports that the implications of Apple dropping IBM as its chip vendor in favor of Intel, announced earlier this week, will straddle the broader computing landscape. Apple stands to gain a competitive edge by partnering with Intel because it will have access to slightly cheaper stuff."

    But not as much as how slashdot is becoming Apple's show pony

      Huh? I thought Slashdot was Google's show pony!

      This flipflopping must stop! I don't know who to worship anymore!

      Linux is ready for the desktop. Just look at Sun Microsystems' Sunrays running JDS.

      You decide if I'm being serious or not.

    Apple has just released the first official benchmarks of the new x86 Mac. Steve was even kind enough to show how the P4 Mac related to the speed of the G5.

    Eh? What the devil is going on here? For weeks at a time, nearly every other article here was about Microsauft Windoze Longtooth. I got good ROI on my investment in the notorious "Longtooth Post". Then Apple announces they are switching to Intel and suddenly every other post is about them!

    That's it, I'm starting work on "The Leopard Post". Where OS X requires the root password each time MOV EAX EBX occurs. Where the Finder realizes it's lost. Where Job Steves outsources the BSOD code to Gill Bates. And where Clippy finally comes to OS X.

    Apple Inside. Where do you want to think different today?

    Though likely subtle at first, the implications of Apple Computer dropping IBM as its chip vendor in favor of Intel, announced earlier this week, will straddle the broader computing landscape.

    So, uh, the implications start subtle but end by straddling, somehow putting their metaphorical legs on either side of a landscape? And who knew Intel was only announced earlier this week?

    Jeez.

    Exactly, all those translucent blue USB peripherals were made to match the BSOD.
