I'll believe this rumored switch away from Intel for Apple when I see it. They switched CPU's twice already and it hurt them pretty bad. The switch to intel wasn't as bad as the cluster fuck that was the switch to PowerPC.
But if they do switch I doubt it will be to a ARM based processor. Apple has a pretty good chip in the Iphone. If they where to scale it up to desktop specs it would be a pretty nice CPU for Macs.

This is just what I can determine with on my Ereader. There are probably a few that I missed and more short stories that I care to mention. I have subscriptions to Analog and Asimov's. I'm not really including the books that I've reread, except the Spellsinger and The Damned books, or audio books. So this is no where near a complete list.
Not necessary. In the corporate world its 98% of the people its intel or nothing. Corporate managers and bean counters are more than happy to line up in the intel queue like cattle, and wait. To them, AMD means second rate crap. An those of us that know better recommend intel anyway, because "nobody ever got fired for recommending intel."
Same thing in the consumer market. People that know nothing about computers but just know they need one, will pick intel over AMD. They do so because the know the name.
The Amiga was a great computer for the time but its short comings where pretty epic. No memory protection in a multitasking OS? Thanks to the Amiga I thought all computers where unreliable POS till I first encountered a proper unix workstation.
That will come later. Tom Baker is the first Dr. I found and remains my favorite. Well him and Peter Davidson. Yes I liked Peter Davidson as the Doctor.
That is what it was like around my parts too. The AtariST/Amiga and sometimes Mac owners always stared at each other with hostile intents. That is until a 8086'er walked by. Then we where firmly in the same camp. At least till they where out of sight.
I don't want to ditch cable internet as much as I want to see more competition. I've been stuck with comcast for the several years and pretty much had to put up with whatever crap they felt like pulling. Last year AT&T wired my apartment for fiber. They sing a different tune now that I'm not locked into just them.
Yeah, I know AT&T is just as evil so I'm still with comcast on the "devil you know" principal.
I do 15 GB a night alone streaming documentaries and old Doctor Who re-runs. I introduced my millennial daughter and her friends to the Tom Baker doctor. They looked at me like I had turned green when I told them this was Doctor Who.
This is what happens when you raise someone to the status of your own personal deity. It kind of sucks, hard, when you find out she isn't. I doubt they will run her again. Already the democrats are tossing her, and the rest of her family, under the bus. Their brand is to heavily damaged.
The early Amgia 3000's, like the one I had, had the perfect keyboard. Even today I still think the Amiga 3000 was one of the best designed computers. I love the look of it and would love to find a case like it today that fit a standard mother board.
Yeah, its pretty useless outside of the lab. That seems to be the state of a lot of new advances today. "Hey we got a battery that will keep your phone running for 3 years on one charge. It only has to be made of a combination gold and element-295. Also to work it must be used while its stored up a rabid gorillas ass."
Normally, I no longer respond to comments in political discussions since I find that most comments don't have any real substance. Just thinly veiled insults, and not even creative insults. The OP that I'm responding too is a perfect example.
His actual claim [twitter.com] was, Fake News media are the enemy of the people. And he was right â" he usually is...
Trump has been right more times than he has been wrong. The problem with the times that he is wrong he is usually wrong in a big way, almost to the point of being clueless. Some of the times that he has been wrong most of the time it looks like he is really ignorant on the issue.
Then there is the media. I can't count the number of times when I read something in the media, only to go look at the source to find that isn't what he said at all. I've watched a number of Trump speeches only to find the media has spun the meaning 180 degrees.
I went through this with 3G and some low bandwidth shit that AT&T had. Edge, I believe it was called. This is the reason I always wait at least a year or two before getting on board with a new network technology. Give them time to get the bugs out and the coverage maps updated.
With cell phones, you can no longer get out of meetings, but at least you can play Tetris while the boss drones on and on.
When I got my first smart phone I loaded a app called fake me out of here. I could give my phone a quick shake and a few minutes later it would ring like I had a incoming call. I used this app to get me out of conversations and meetings that I didn't want to be in. Checking google, I see there are several apps that do just that.
You want to know something funny? I was actually looking for an excuse to cancel Hulu last night. I was flipping through hulu last night noting there was nothing on there I wanted to watch. The only reason I didn't cancel it was because I wanted to finish out Lastman Standing.
Don't believe me? Look at the prices for the reactors under construction. The real prices, not the fake ones they presented at the beginning.
No, I'm going to take you at your word. I see no reason to fact check you because I know that you are correct. New reactors cost an ass load to build and most of that cost is before the first brick is laid. You have to fight your way through mountains of red tape, and legal challenges by the anti nuke kooks. Then there is the cost of the pepper spray that you will need to clear the hippies off the land.
But my point is the actual cost of the structure and shit probably wouldn't be that much if it wasn't for so much regulations. If the hippies hadn't shutdown research in the '60 and '70 things would be better.
Oh well, despite all the anti nuke kooks research continues, abet at a slower pace. New designs will be coming out of the east where they don't have such issues. The real question we should be asking will these new Chinese reactors be safer than what we have now?
Rick, I think you have finally lost your mind. Looks like you are coming more unhinged every day. Some of that stuff you wrote in your journal is pretty disturbing. I'm going to wander off now. I would suggest professional help.
I know AC don't get mod points but those of us with accounts too. I actually get lots of mod points. When I do get them I do read at below +2, like I should. I've had something like 45 mod points in the last few days. I will reset to my normal +2 reading level when I'm sure I will not be getting any more for awhile.
So you shouldn't be to concerned about my credibility, sir sock.
I would be interested in where you got this number from. I hope you are taking into account we are talking about Europe and not the US. The laws would be different there so the regulations that stifle the building of modern reactors in the US wouldn't be the same.

Isn't that the truth. I've seen actual fights between Amiga and AtariST fans.

Same here. I've not thought of lotus notes in years. The first, and last time, I was forced to use it was 20 years ago or so.

after a 3 mile walk with a gas can I remembered not to do that again.
Been there, done that walk of shame. Never again.

Amazing how things can change in 24 hours.
I figured they already did this. I was unable to get to pornhub from starbucks the other day. I go there to read the articles.
