'Intel Based Mac' Rumor Roundup...

More..

Here's more.. might be some missing.

Mudbug: someone else on stage
Mudbug: Adobe rep
Mudbug: want performance on an OS - want OS X
Mudbug: Adobe is committed to making apps to run natively on Apple's new architecture
Mudbug: complete line of applications
Mudbug: great news - what took so long?
*** MacRumors became a #MacRumors operator.
MacRumor: *sorry about technical difficulties before - things seem sorted out now
MacRumor: went out of way to give steve a big hug when crossing stage
MacRumor: Catch up - Moving to Intel processors from PowerPC. Why the transition - want the best computers for end users and we haven't been able to deliver what we wanted. PPC products still to come, future roadmap 2006 and beyond!SP
MacRumor: try and explain how we got here today
MacRumor: Catch up - transition isn't going to be overnight, this time next year plan is to ship macs with intel processors, complete transition by end of 2006.
MacRumor: \"The Silicon Valley Story\"
MacRumor: Intel founded in 1968 by coinventor of integrated circuit
MacRumor: invented first microprocessor
MacRumor: picture of him and steve having dinner together long time ago
MacRumor: Catch up - two major challenges - making OS X think on intel procs. Every release of OS has been compiled for intel x86 for the last 5 years - cross platform by design. All demos up to this point have been done o
MacRumor: connections of intel/apple happened about the same time
MacRumor: didn't quite work out the way Intel had hoped
MacRumor: microprocessor business kept humming along for quite some time
 
Well I might as well. AMD is screwed in two ways.

1) Intel just gained a ton more business/image.
2) AMD now must fight two fronts. CPU - Intel. Company - Apple.

Great, just freakin' great.

This HAS to be an oxymoron:
world's most innovative chip company have finally teamed up

Innovative? Long ass pipeline? Hot processors? Inefficiency? Bad business practices? I'm already losing respect for Jobs over this. Alot of respect.

I am considering the same for myself...But I am really confused right now. I dont know what to make of all this....just that Mac as we know it is dead and gone.

Seems like the IRC is repeating stuff from before and falling behind..

MacRumor: didn't quite work out the way Intel had hoped
MacRumor: microprocessor business kept humming along for quite some time
MacRumor: 1993 - 2 events happend
MacRumor: switch to 604, and introduction of the Pentium
MacRumor: Catch up - not done yet, will put in dev hands soon. How to make it work with your apps - separate code, xcode will compile for all, cocoa with minor tweeks and a recompile will work without a hitch - can be ready in
MacRumor: binary (one binary works on both PPC and intel)
MacRumor: showing commercial from 1993
MacRumor: toasting the pentium chip commercial
MacRumor: G3
MacRumor: "burn baby burn"
MacRumor: not so subtle message that the pentium needed to run cooler
MacRumor: so happy the world's most innovative computer company and world's most innovative chip company have finally teamed up
MacRumor: Catch up - not every app will be easy to convert, so translate PowerPC code inline into tel - dynamic binary translator. Photoshop plugins for PPC binary translate without a hitch. Developer transition kit - 3.64Ghz P4, for
MacRumor: brings together skills and opportunities of two great companies
MacRumor: play on respective strengths
MacRumor: Apple legendary in innovation of OS & Hardware design
MacRumor: Intel - legendary in delivering great processors - relentless persuit of better processors

MacRumor: "we know transitions"
MacRumor: will continue with 3rd transition - will make best machines we know how to make
MacRumor: will not happen overnight
MacRumor: lots of great power pc products in pipeline
MacRumor: intel-based macs in marketplace next year
MacRumor: lot of work ahead
MacRumor: OS X runs fantastically on Intel processors
MacRumor: fairly far along already
MacRumor: create universal binaries
MacRumor: talking about different venues at conference
MacRumor: 500 apple engineers on-site
MacRumor: many will be shipping universal binaries by this time next year

In business nothing is sacred.
 
I am torn, but only because my dual 2.3G5 is a month old.
However, I get the feeling that the OS will continually be built on BOTH architectures. Who's to say that, in a year from now, IBM won't have their **** together. If the OS becomes truly processor independent, then it won't matter which chip it has. Of course, that'll bring on the Mac civil war.... lol
 
I will only say one thing. I have faith in Steve. I have met him in person, and he is one of the most fascinating people I have ever spoken with. Keep in mind, Apple's slide started when He left, and Stopped when he returned. If there is one thing that I know, it is that if Steve does it, then it is sure to be the best thing for Apple Computer.

But seriously, who is going to cough up with 3k for a system that is going to be phased out? I doubt that anyone here is THAT devoted. I am not.

This certainly is a black day!

My feelings:

2005 Apple announces Intel macs.

2006 Mac-OS cracked and runs on every PC.

2007 Apple bankrupt.

My trusty old G4 keep the memory of the good old Mac days alive, much like my old Amiga 500 does. :(
