I have it on good authority that Apple has secretly bought out
Microsloth and is using Windows as a game engine. You navigate your
way around and see if you can escape the Darkside.
On a serious side I remember reading that the Sony Playstation was to
have something like a G5 quad chip Now that would be good in my G5
which ends up being a G20. It is not the speed of the chip but how it
works - that has been our cry. Imagine a quad G5 2.5 with a front-
side bus of 2.5ghz. and whatever happened to the caterpillar drives
the size of a postage stamp?

And as for Intel making PPC chips, I think they would have to swallow
a lot of pride to do that (or be thrown oodles of cash).
There is another interesting possibility though. Pentium M. It's fast,
cool, efficient, and getting cheaper in a hurry. I can see that
being a
seriously attractive CPU for Apple's lower-end offerings - and they
might well be pondering moving the higher end gear to Opteron later.
I'm still dubious about the whole thing, but if there's any truth in
this jumping ship stuff, I expect Pentium M may be part of it.
My money is on a new digital hub hardware device, much like the
EyeHome device from El Gato. [snip]
Me too. Intel's StrongARM is very popular for this sort of thing.
