Re: intel inside stickers and Apple branding (was Is Apple really moving to x86 architechture?!)
Bruce, That was a good article, thanks for posting that link. Which company will benefit from branding is interesting to think about. I think both can benefit if they respect each other and not try to rip each other off (and not put intel inside stickers on the front or top of Macs!). Which brings up a question: Would Mac buyers settle for the Intel sticker on the back or bottom of a Mac or PowerBook? How about on the cardboard packing box? I have been reading about Intel's new CEO Paul Otellini the past week. From what I have read he seems like a forward looking person with positive attitude and energy. Seems he has been courting Apple at least as long as IBM and Freescale have been messing up and stringing Apple along. Hopefully Mr. Otellini's positive attributes will spread throughout Intel. On paper, Otellini seems to be a good fit for a partnership with Steve Jobs and Apple. So, time will tell and we will see. Also, you bring up a good point, why do people leave all those stickers on their computers? Are they some sort of badge of honor? More like badges of courage on Windows machines! :-) Best regards, Scott On Jun 13, 2005, at 2:33 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Zoltan, I hope you meant that you hope future Macs are NOT stuck with that (I will change the adjective to) irritating intel inside sticker. I certainly prefer not to have any ads on my computers. I especially prefer to have my Macs not resembling race cars. There's an article discussing this on Forbes' site today: http://www.forbes.com/technology/2005/06/13/apple-intel- branding_cx_ah_0610apple.html They point out that Apple has a higher brand recognition than Intel does, that Intel may be getting more attention from their association with Apple than vice-versa. I really don't think that we're going to be seeing 'Intel Inside' stickers anytime soon. But the 'looking like race cars' thing makes me chuckle. I see more Windows laptops come through with ALL the myriad of stickers they have plastered all over them when they're sold.
