After his second coming, Steve Jobs quickly removed all clone licenses stopping Moto, Umax et al from producing Mac like PC's. I'd doubt he'd completely change direction on his deep seated hatred of clones, however Dell is a major player and we have seen stranger things in previous weeks......but saying that, if he does, I'm buying a typewriter. At least I'd have a solid cultural identity.:)
These next few months could be very interesting.
In a similar vein, the seti@home project is currently developing a new project called "Astropulse" to scan the skies for optical signals from ET. This is also designed to use GPU code to perform the signal analysis.
(It would be interesting to see how this woud perform on a PS3, especially now the PS3 is rumoured to ship with Linux pre-installed)
From a programming perspective, I'm going to miss not having altivec and I've never needed to program for SSE et al. Can anyone give a brief comparison?

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to ask slashdot if there is some anti- reality distortion field.

Is there any speculation to which processor Apple may choose to use?
True, but the "developer transistion package"(see bottom of article) is availible running on a P4, which is x86.

Will Apple's advertisements now feature the "Intel Inside" slogan? Could be interesting...
No kidding!
This is quite remarkable. http://live.macobserver.com/article/2005/06/wwdc20 05_keynote.shtml
I guess we're all equal now... :)
Here's a quick question: would anyone here actually object if Apple made the switch to x86?
