Top Ten Apple Rumors of All Time
An anonymous reader writes "CNET have taken a look back at 30 years of Apple rumors during which we have witnessed Apple's 'rise, fall, and rise again, like a kind of technological Jesus Christ.' Some of the rumors are outrageous, and some came true. The list includes such treasures as the Apple-Nintendo merger, which the article calls 'utterly outlandish,' and the persistent rumor that Apple will release Mac OS X for PC — described as 'so counter-productive and financially damaging for Apple that we doubt the company has ever seriously considered it.' There is also mention of the iPhone, which CNET says is 'an elaborate hoax dreamed up by Steve Jobs to keep journalists busy.'"
WTF dude, you fab your own processor and motherboards? Solder your own memory?
"You keep using that word...I do not think it means what you think it means..."
Actually, if MS killed off Office for the Mac, it wouldn't make a lot of difference. People use Macs for audio, video and graphics work, which you can't do in Windows.
Actually the majority of the tools needed to do video/audio on a Mac have equivilents ont he PC. The Artistic types simply prefer the mac or need retraining to use a PC as efficiently. To them it's not worth it but there isn't a real reason for the difference, and hasn't been for some time. Some of the nice Max onyl tools do provide some reason but there are equivalents on the PC side.

The current line of phones are already crashing and locking up on occasion - all we need now is less colour and one or two gimmick features and we're pretty much there.
Not true apple hardware is still higher then pc $600 for a mini with laptop cpu, ram , and hd with a pos gma 950 video when for the same price you get a desktop with a real video and desktop parts.
With $2000 mac pro $300 to go from 1 gig 2 gigs of ram is big ripoff.
No head-less mid-end desktop.
