[L0rdDiabl0's Blog] As some of you know today is the Worldwide Developer Conference, WWDC2005 and also it’s the date for the historical keynote of Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs, why historical? Because it follows the rumors of the biggest change in Apple’s recent history, embracing Intel’s CPUs and dumping IBM’s.
Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.
[* pressing on in the dark *] Apple & Intel: Just in case you didn't follow the World Wide Developer's Conference this morning, a brief synopsis on Steve Jobs' keynote: We have plans to transition the Apple CPUs from IBM PowerPC chips to Intel chips. Wow.
[Jeroen's Repository] Warning!: Apple geekery coming soon.: The Keynote adress by Steve Jobs at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference is today, so there'll probably be some kind of juicy announcement. Such as Apple switching to Intel chips, perhaps? We'll know later today, so watch this space for updates. If you care about what's happening with Apple that is.
[Complete Tosh, by Neil McIntosh] Apple to switch to Intel?: Longer term, it might be convenient for the iPod-era Apple to get out the long-since commoditised PC market, and focus on its fringes; higher-margin digital home devices, and the very high end workstations on which it still makes decent margins. Its big products for the PC market would then just include annual versions of its operating system, and new or improved online services for which it can charge rolling fees.
[Nuno's Thoughts] It's official: Apple will switch to Intel x86.: Steve confirmed all this, BTW, by saying the rumors have been true about how Apple had an Intel...From the WWDC 2005 Keynote live coverage:He's demonstrating it with Quicken, Excel, Photoshop. All... transparent process. - posted by Dave 1:46 PM Apple is calling an emulation layer "Rosetta," after
[Nuno's Thoughts] The Apple deal: It is not just the potential savings on hardware design, but also the fact that Apple will suddenly be a lot more acceptable by the community which usually would snigger at Apple - corporate buyers. Sure - the change isn't as deep as it looks (after all, the OS will still be a non-Windows one), but an "Intel Inside" label on a Mac could just be the thing which makes IT departments think that an Apple computer with MacOS X is actually a good alternative to Windows (unlike Linux). Just today my local IT manager was asking me what I thought about this whole Apple/Intel malarky. Clearly Mac's had suddenly become a lot more acceptable for him.
[Engadget.com] Live from WWDC: Steve Jobs keynote - Engadget - www.engadget.com: 11:04am PDT - Steve is back on now, restating the theme of this as Apple’s 3rd big transition. “It’s not gonna happen overnight. We’re making AWESOME machines right now” (Frequent comment in the press line: Will anyone buy one in the next year?) “When we meet again here next year, we will have products with Intel processors entering the market.” Next year he’ll show Leopard. One non-boilerplate truth: “The soul of a Mac is its operating system.” Plus the slick industrial design, of course.
[Engadget.com] Live from Macworld 2005: Steve Jobs keynote - Engadget - www ...: 9:11am PST - Steve Jobs arrives on stage, starts talking up HD projection, he’s showing off their new Apple store in London, it’s their largest store to date, and the second grossing store they have worldwide.
[Theappleblog.com] The Apple Blog: One might well wonder why Apple couldn’t make this functionality a little more accessible, say by allowing all caps ORs and NOTs in Spotlight queries instead of these rather obscure bracketed syntaxes. There is some suggestion that it is due to boolean searching’s not yet being fully implemented, hence the decision to keep the functionality “hidden”. For those of us that want it in the meantime, this will have to do.
