Apple did the right thing to switch - IBM told Intel and AMD how they did it now. I mean, they practically told the world. It won't be too long before Intel and AMD follow suit with their already low power consuming chips...
And, if things do look like IBM is the upper hand, Apple has cross platform capabilites now, becuase of the switch. So they could offer both if they wanted to for a while, and maybe switch back. But, in the end it looks like Apple made the better long term decision. Even if you think about it the only competitor is The Chip which actually allows for mulitple different cores to be on one processor.
I knew this math teacher who "said" he knew the "master formula". He's a real guy. I had him as a teacher at University School Milwaukee once for Summer School. He was orignally a teacher at some public school in North Milwaukee. Man, I wish I could remember the name. His last name was Osborne...
Anway, he said he would never give this forumla to anyone because what you could do with it would be much to dangerous, and they already almost have it because of GPS... - that's why I actually am replying to this topic. This article says almost the same thing he did!
By the way, this math teacher was incredibly smart! No kidding, he could make everything seem really simple - we flew through a PreCalc textboo in a matter of weeks, and understood it all!

But, you never know if he was making it up...
