"Turbo-cosmic energy" will give the Apple boss "an unprecedented surge of creativity" from April 2003 through January 2004. Next August he'll be able to announce "breakthrough news "-a deal with a major partner or the government.

Umm... Astrology? Your kidding right.

What about this is news?

IBM will have the 970 about ready by then. They're more than likely the new partner that the article mentions.

I'm excited for the "turbo cosmic energy" myself!

turbo cosmic energy plus reality distortion field=?

I don't know about you, but I'd be looking for that big Asteroid about that time...

Good grief!

I really didn't understand what the big deal was about this "turbo-cosmic" stuff. "What the-?"

Pretty funny stuff.

I thought IBM has been a long time partner? They must be referring to someone different.

What bout a cell phone company? iPhone? That would be a pretty big partner.

iphone is software. can we not get tht idea here. iphone is software. most likely IMO a vid conferencing app.

what about...

What about Sony.

First, Apply aspires to be like them.
Second, Philips is partnering with Apple on Rendevous...so what? Apple could partner with Sony and make all sony products (TVs, DVD players, etc) rendevous compatable and put firewire 2 ports in a lot of them. That would be a hell of a lot better than with just Philips.

I could see Apple doing what you're saying - working with Sony to make sure its products are compatible with Apple technologies. I don't think you'll ever see a cobranded Apple/Sony product, though - both companies pride themselves on product design too much to share credit like this. I could see a cobranded Apple/Philips product, though, since Philps has the manufacturing capability and distribution channels, and Apple has the great design team.
