Roundtable on Apple's Future
John Murrell writes "Given the insatiable appetite for Apple rumors, analysis and speculation, SiliconValley.com has opened a week long roundtable discussion on the company's post-Intel future. Among those on the panel are Andy Hertzfeld, Tim Bray, Brent Simmons, John Gruber, Keven Krewell, Mark Gonzales and Leander Kahney."
Somebody willpredict great success, somebody will predict total failure, and many slashdot assholes will bitch about the iPod throughout this thread.
Check out my foes list to see who is so retarded that they can't use the signature line!!!
Rumors are that the table is not round, but oval. Is the thinnest table on the market (thin as a pencil) and has a color surface. Some talk of video capabilities in future table models. Apple bought massive amounts of table legs from a undisclosed south korean company at great discounts. Introducing this tabel was a bold move, since it's highly succesful Apple footstool was introduced last year and is now the best selling piece of furniture in the world..
on the company's post-Intel future...
You mean they are already moving away from Intel again? Help, I can't keep up anymore!
10 ?"Hello World" life was simple then
And so another Apple rumour begins...
Get a free iPod Nano 4GB!
Great way to manufacture "news" guys.
Pardon my scepticism, but a bunch of people sitting around pontificating about Apple won't affect Steve's vision.
You might as well shout "Users!" at Ballmer.
insecurity asks the wrong question irritation gives the wrong answer
Hey, you have something brown on your tongue.
I wonder if this is to counter FUD or if it's just another step in the Apple Product Cycle: http://www.misterbg.org/AppleProductCycle/
Upcoming Events: What features would you like in the of the MacIntel?
Surely should be post-PPC, unless they've ditched Intel already.
Jobs announced that Apple will be switching over to the PortalPlayer processors. He also stated that due to the overwhelming success of the iPod line, that all Macintosh's will ship with only a clickwheel for input (eliminating the now outdated keyboard and mouse). He was widely expected to announce a totally revamped OSX (to be called OSXI) that, in a radical shift in user interfaces) eliminated the gui altogether and replaces it with a much simply hierarchical series of menus. However, pending litigation with Creative will mean that the future of software user interfaces will be put on hold, pending the lawsuits outcome.
I think Apple should make an MP3 player. I hear youngsters use these quite a lot nowadays so there might be a market for it.
I'm too cool for a sig.
Now, go back in time and imagine :
...
"Running Mac OS on a Sun workstation powered by an x86 CPU"
almost as weird as NT for Sparc
#include "coucou.h"
If one monkey on a keyboard can make so many mistakes in such a short blurb, then million monkeys on typewriters will never be able to reproduce "Hamlet" -- they'll invariably end up producing "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead" instead. Even the laws of probability will fail there.
Man is a slave because freedom is difficult, whereas slavery is easy.
I've been telling you for the last 20 years, Apple is about to go bankrupt and collapse.
Clearly, as has been the case for years now, Apple will be out of business in two weeks, if not a year. You can bet on it. If you're a damn fool...
While the pundits have been saying this for so long that people might think it's just got to come true some day, even the end of the world as we know it won't stop them. Recall the novel "War Day" by Whitley Streiber and James Kunetka. It's about a fictional journey around the U.S. after a limited nuclear war. California was somehow un-nuked, and apparently out of the paths of much of the fallout. And Apple Computer still exists, with their latest desktop computer appearing on someone's desk. If a fictitious limited nuclear war couldn't stop Apple, what will?
