I think you're stretching it and seeing a copycat where there is none.

Maybe they sold her into white slavery.

There would be no difficulty at all for Apple to implement EFI, especially since Apple will most likely be using Intel reference designs. In fact Gateway has been using EFI on some of their systems since late 2003, like the Gateway Media Center. And…

This doesn't belong in Future Hardware.

All those that voted for #1, Apple using existing Intel chips, should pat themselves on the back and take pride in using logical reasoning to see through the FUD. I mean, theorizing that Apple was going to use an Xscale chip for a new device was on…

It shouldn't hurt performance. The bios makes the card available at boot time and until a OS driver is loaded. With Linux PowerPC you can use a VGA card, but it is not available until the OS loads. Once there it would work the same. Apple's current …

Yes, one of the CHRP specifications called for the ability to use VGA video cards. Apple never implemented it. Pegasos PowerPC systems can and do use PC video cards.

Yes, if they switch to Intel and use x86 bios or extensible firmware interface.
-
Yes. Apple will no longer be using open firmware, and standard VGA bios video cards will work.

I voted the first one. It seems clear; The Apple IBM alliance is broken, Intel does not make chips to other's designs like a chip day laborer, Intel has some great dual core CPUs on the horizon, and if Intel was making some all new CPU design it wou…

All of that sounds plausible, but it doesn't mean no Intel switch. After all, they will need something to sell until the switch in 2006. And the 4 button scroll mouse seems in line with a radical change in thinking at Apple.

I would like to say, I knew this was coming. I have been saying Apple would switch for years. They stayed with the sinking ship longer than I would have, but in the end the abandoned it like a sane person would.

This page should help ... iMovie 4 & iDVD: The Missing Manual. Under chapter 18 read the PDF and use the file Hurz & Pfurz.
