    I can now confirm that it is possible that Bill Gates is C|Net's source for Apple on Intel rumours. In a statement earlier today, he hinted that he might want to confuse and enrage Apple fans this weekend so they are not focused on Steve's upcoming announcements.



    Bill Gates was reportedly acting on behalf of Michael Dell, in retaliation for Apple's refusal to license stock hardware designs.



    Further investigation has revealed C|Net was paid a sum of $150,000 to publish this story as a news piece.

    Dear studiotoo,



    Please consider a remedial online etiquette class at your earliest convenience. Proper employment of grammar, punctuation and capitalization will lead to people actually bothering to read your drivel, and might even compell them to respond.



    Thanks.

    POSIX is not an ABI. Linux, the BSDs, Solaris, Irix, etc are all Posix compliant.



    You can have source portability and binary portability. POSIX is about source portability. There are other standards as well - check R. Stevens' "Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment" for details.



    Now stop spreading manure.

    If you stopped sitting it your information would smell better.



    The kernel is Posix compliant. But the distro's are not.



    What some here forget is that there is no such thing as a Linux OS. That would like saying that there is a Mach OS because OS X has a Mach kernel.



    The distro's are the OSes, and they are not fully Posix compliant.

    Because I let go, seeing as he/she doesn't really know what it means to be POSIX compliant, does not mean that she actually scored any point in this debate.



    In any case, GNU/Linux is POSIX compliant and is the only OS that runs on as many as 10 different architectures.

    He.



    I actually do understand this. It's somewhat more complex that you seem to think it is.



    GNU does a pretty good job at compliance, and they adhere to most of those standards, as does OS X. But as you can see from their own page, even though they define the Posix standards that they do adhere to, even they say that;



    "In general the GNU C library supports the ISO C and POSIX standards."



    In general



    http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/libc.html



    As I've said, they do a pretty good job, but support is not complete. This doesn't mean that it won't be in the future.



    Other distro's are less in compliance.

    Don't flame me for this, I don't know all too much about processor architecture, but could Intel be building a Cell processor for Apple?



    Bear in mind I don't know much about Cell other than it is "f***ing awesome" and that it needs to be modified (?) somehow to work good. Just throwing this out there as I haven't seen it mentioned.

    There's been a lot of discussion about this on the tech sites such as Arstechnica.com. Check out articles by "Hannibal" and others.



    I'm not sure if Intel would be able to do this though. It seems to be a Sony IBM thing.

    I think this is media fluffing to wrile up all us mac users. Get the rumor mills going and get us all crazy and confused. Then Steve will announce something about the Power6 crap and goodies about IBM's new direction. Intel has no reason to make deals with Apple. Apple doesn't generate enough sales for Intel to yawn at.

    Go to Anandtech if you think some of this is bad. All it takes on most of the threads is to say that you are a Mac user...
