Apple Planning Intel iBook Debut for January?

axonis writes "Apple is planning to release its first entry-level iBook laptops with Intel processors next January at Macworld Expo in San Francisco, highly reliable sources have confirmed to Think Secret." From the article: "Apple will almost certainly tap Intel's forthcoming Yonah processor for the iBooks, a successor to the company's Pentium M. It is unknown whether Apple will go with a dual-core version of the processor, slated for release in January, or a single-core version, which Intel announced in August would be delivered shortly after the dual-core version. The dual-core Yonah chip could very likely deliver performance greater than Apple's current G4-based PowerBooks."

If someone tells me a project will be done in six months and they complete it in six weeks, I want to know why the original timeline was so poorly calculated.

Were I working for an ass like you, I'd just say, "gee, boss. I guess I'm just much better at completing projects than setting projected timelines. Perhaps you should fire me and hire a guy who takes three times as long, but always knows how long he will take."

Or, if I wanted to play by your rules, I'd finish the project in six weeks and not tell you I'm done for another four and a half months. You get to have your little project spreadsheets look pretty, I get paid for playing World of Warcraft for months on end. It's win-win!
