    NOT a chance

    x86? I'd rather chew broken glass. Intel is part of the dreaded monolith named Wintel. Two of the sleaziest corporations to ever hit the Street.

    yes yes yes

    Please, Apple, ditch Motorola while you still have your sanity! IBM is your friend!!! Yeesh, how many more times does Apple have to get burned before they can safely and tactfully end that dreaded Mot contract?!

    Apple on Athlon

    Some company demoed a PPC emulator aying it could run apps at 1-g equivalent on a 1.4-g Athlon.
