[cinematic::rain] the apple-intel deal: i have come to the conclusion that what apple might be going after, would be a mac-mini based media center in conjunction with a high-res, video-playing ipod. a full fledged competitor to windows media center, no doubt but all design done through apple as usual. hey, if MS can use PPC chips for the XBOX 360, then i can totally see Apple using Intel chips to create a media center. i may be totally wrong and be speaking out of my ass, but this wouldnt be the first time.

This is Intel's call to jump ahead of technology for once.

 [Jaybrewer.net] jaybrewer.net: Sounds crazy, but I had read an article that PVRBlog.com was doing really well and it was focused on just mostly TIVO and Replay. I had seen the Senseo Single Serve Coffee machine in Wired and other publications that seemed to be inventing a new category - a coffee machine that makes single cups of coffees using coffee pods. Maybe a blog on just Senseo and Single Serve Coffee would work? Maybe other companies would make machines and in a year or so it would be a big new product category with lots of stuff to write on?

[Slideaway.ca] Modsuperstar.ca - How High Can You Fly With Buffalo Wings?: Apple on Intel? This idea has been floated around for ages.  Apple running on Intel chips.  Well it's finally happened.  I'm so torn right now.  I know I've spent a good amount of time and energy in my life(having used the Mac platform since 1988) in dispelling speed gap myths and generally bashing Intel.  I suppose it's not all that different from when Apple and IBM jumped into bed with each other a couple of years ago.  Back in the 80's IBM used to be the biggest game in town, and if someone talked about the 2 platforms, it used to be Mac and IBM.  Now that same conversation goes often people comparing Mac to Intel systems.  Now they're one in the same.  It's left me with a hollow feeling.  It's like you preached democracy only to wake up one day and find that the communists won and you're now on their side.
