I was really looking forward to the intel move. I want to buy a high end macintosh so that I can dual boot windows and os x. I could use the windows partition for my gaming needs and the os x partition for my computing needs. For all you naysayers, imagine not being able to dual boot windows/linux. Imagine having to maintain two machines, one for playing games, and one for getting things done. Now I will have to split my resources two ways, buying a mediocre pc clone and a low end mac.
How depressing.
To those who say: Buy a console!
Console games suck and are for mutants with multiple thumbs.
PC gaming forever (hopefully sometime soon on a mac)
that is all,
blah
No, it's republican's who "coined this idea" you're just a brainwashed idiot, apparently. Enjoy the cable news. I'm sure its a learning experience for you.
Games are the only reason I still have microsoft windows installed on a machine. Productivity work can be done more hassle free on other operating systems. I think after the release of the next generation of game systems from sony, nintendo, and ahem microsoft, I will give up the windows partition on my harddrive. Home use doesnt drive the os market anyway. It's all the corporate yahoos who insist on having windows x.y.z on their ten billion machines. As it stands now I use windows only for playing games. I don't even surf the web in that god forsaken environment.
Most accredited universities don't offer degrees in Boy Scouting. Many don't even offer the course 'Merit Badges 101: Survey of Merit Badges'. I don't see how it can seem surprising that someone with a college degree could fail to answer that question. Anyone with an advanced degree in computer science probably hasn't seen the sun in eight years (I'm really pushing for skylights in the grad student offices.) The question itself is suspect. There's really not enough information given to give a rigorous answer. What if its nighttime and you've forgotten what little you learned in Astronomy 101? A legitimate answer would be: 'Well, i'd pull a needle out of my haystack, rub it with some magnetic iron, that i found from the meteor that crashed into the corn field last night, magnetizing it. Then i'd pour some of my Evian(tm) water into my Evian(tm) cap and float the needle in it and id choose the direction opposite that which the needle pointed.'
But that answer (while guiding you in the right direction) is just silly. I think the solution space of that problem (as stated) is infinite.
It's really the type of question that Mensa types like to masturbate about while thinking how clever they are. I'll take a four/six/eight year college degree over some bonehead who can answer that question anyday.
I agree. I recently purchased a Mac, mostly due to the appeal of OSX. I've been nothing but impressed. I havent been this excited about a machine and its operating system since I purchased an Amiga in 1989. Linux sort of filled the gap for me in the mid/late 90s, but OSX has made me a Mac convert. I see it as the future. At least the future for me.

There is no technology in this patent.

Somehow I don't think Jobs is in this game for the money. Ego maybe. But money no.
