Forget the hardware & the software annoucements. MS with WHS/XBox /IPTVis gonna own the living room. What I hope Apple does because it sure needs to: buy Nintendo! What I fear is gonna happen: Steve Jobs steps down. What a fscking wrong t…

Quote: Originally posted by Programmer You've presented a bunch of fictions and misconceptions, under which any discussion is pointless. Thanks for that. I was gonna reply myself but I've given up trying to correct such posts - lots of work …

Quote: Originally posted by DHagan4755 I agree with the sentiment that we'll see Intel in Apple Pro portables first (I'm not calling them PowerBooks yet). I think we'll see them at MWSF, in January, 2006. I think so too - laptops are a great…

Quote: Originally posted by copeland I always thought there is a tremendous difference in coding for PPC and x86. Everyone here on the board said there is no way to go Intel. Now S. J. says we will get x86 and PPC code simultaneously. How will th…

Hey guys its not such a big move as you think it is - except for software developers. Hardware philosophy has not changed - Macs will still be essentially closed boxes with choice restricted. I'm curious if Intel will create chips with different …

Quote: Originally posted by AppleRISC Then again, they already chose an inferior chip architecture, who knows what they'll do next. Oh shut up! Stop being religious about it will ya? If its good enough for Steve its obviously good enough for …

Damn it's a bloody cold day today in hell ej?! Un-fscking-believable! So Scoble was right after all! That means that MS has known about it for some time. The strategic implications of this move are legion. This week has truly been a histori…

A couple of stories by the Register here. I'd really, really hate Apple if they put those damn "Intel Inside" stickers on the cases in exchange for marketing dollars. That would be betrayal on a grand scale.

Quote: Originally posted by melgross Yes, a recompile will work. Not always. You are forgetting the endiannes issue. On-disk binary file loading code will be broken on the x86 for example. Quote: Originally posted by melgross But a…

Quote: Originally posted by xype Somehow your posts read more like you wished the people would squirm, rationalize, backpedall, etc. so you can gloat. No need for wishing - enough material as it is And it's not as if schadenfraude is n…

Quote: Originally posted by melgross No it's not. Only partly. As is OS X. STFU 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 so…

Quote: Originally posted by Programmer Actually their x86 designs are fairly innovative -- how else could they get the ancient x86 up to its current speeds? Never miss a chance to rubbish the x86 do you? If Intel and AMD can get archaic, me…
