Between now and the switch, can you imagine apple's sale will be?

Very low. People will think twice before buying a PPC-based Mac. I was considering buying an iMac G5 this summer, but I'll just keep my eMac till 2006.

lol I like how everybody has this mindset that intel if awful. You guys are just being closed minded. The fact of the matter is IBM couldn't get a G5 into a powerbook/ibook. Do you think apple can tolerate this? Nope.. So what is their course of action? They go with a company that has been doing it for years. It makes perfect sense. If you guys are going to be closed minded and not even give intel a chance then it is your loss. I know I will continue to buy apple products. I own an ipod and a powerbook g4 right now :).

I think all the flame-baiters need to reminded of that including Steven.  :whistle:

I"m not trolling or flame-baiting. I"m really happy bout this. honest. :)

Perhaps my excitment is being taken the wrong way.. sorry. :blush:

Even Calvin is happy see! :p

AHHH! Why does it matter what CPU your using?!!

I don't understand why this is a sad day for Apple. Embrace the new technology, embrace PCIe, embrace Pentium M, embrace a Dual-Core Powermac Workstation. What does it matter what processor is running under the hood, it's the Operating System that matters.

OSX will be locked to hardware I'm betting.  So you won't be able to buy OSX and install it on a non-apple intel machine.  However, someone will come up with a way to dual boot Windows on a Mac machine.  That'll make more people buy the mac so they can get both worlds, os wise.  :)

Sure, just install Windows and Linux on Apple hardware:)

Well, I like the G series more than Intel chips. They always win for video encoding.

Today we morn the G 3/4/5, god bless IBM. *puts on black suit*

Agreed.

LOL @ MEMO.INC.

About the only thing I dislike about this news is that I don't have Intel Macs to play with right now.

I won't risk buying an expensive computer that will have no or little support from feature software. And I want to know for sure how the whole transition is going to work.

I wonder.. How are they going to name the new intel based Macs, If PowerPc mac = PowerMac...

Intel Mac= IntelliMac? LOL

This is great, this is awesome, nobody should be worried with this (Consumers), This will drive prices lower!, more choices, I love choices :D this is a happy day :p

Agree :) . Extremely ironic coming from AMD :D . I wanted to get a Mac Mini this summer. I guess i'll wait for 6/6/06 for a Yonah powered one then.

isent this just economics? apple has been BEGGING IBM for 3.2ghz g5's for year or 2 now and its the same story.

then Microsoft comes along and asks IBM for the same 3.2ghz chips and all of a sudden IBM is all over it

why? you may ask. becuase when jobs calls up ibm and orders a couple hundred thousand 3.2ghz chips, ibm says "yeah yeah, ill get around too it"

when gates called up IBM and says, hay, i need 10 million 3.2ghz chips for my new xbox, everyone at IBM gets a partial and starts creamin there pants when they realize how much money 10 million chips is going to make them.

is this just apples way of saying F you ibm? you wont make chips for us but youle make them for microsoft, well then we dont want your chips at all, neener neener neener

i just dont think apple has a market to justify a proprietery chip that requiers its own manufacturing facility.

    • Tor Browser 15.0.15 by Razvan Serea Protect your privacy. Defend yourself against network surveillance and traffic analysis. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody from watching your Internet connection and learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked. The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained. Tor Browser 15.0.15 changelog: All Platforms Updated NoScript to 13.6.20.1984 Updated Tor to 0.4.9.9 Bug tor-browser#42436: Allow for multiple configured (front, reflector) domain fronting pairs in Moat module Windows + macOS + Linux Bug tor-browser#44997: Captcha doesn't work in TB desktop Linux Bug tor-browser#44886: Backport tor-browser#44361: Notify Linux i686 users that they won't receive updates anymore Download: Tor Browser (64-bit) | Tor Browser (32-bit) | 109.0 MB (Open Source) View: Tor Browser Website | Other Operating Systems Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Less disk space means less bandwidth demands which means lower operating costs for service providers... that's where money talks. ... cuz it's not about improving video quality!... that's just marketing spin.
    • And thereby lies the rub. AV1 support is not as wide as paid analysts would have the industry believe. With AV2 around the corner, it's going cause more time backlog in adoption (how many recent purchasers will upgrade yet-again within the next 6-12 months? most would rather stay pat for another 1+ years before even thinking about upgrading their setups).
    • Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much needed feature by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily expanding OneDrive’s file management capabilities over the years, including for shared content and shortcuts, although it has had its flaws, too. The cloud storage platform introduced support for folder shortcuts several years ago, allowing users to pin frequently accessed shared folders from OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. Now, Microsoft is refining that experience further with a new way to organize those shortcuts as revealed in a recent Microsoft 365 roadmap addition. Previously, shortcuts added through the “Add shortcut to My files” option would appear alongside all other files and folders in the root of a user's OneDrive. And although it's meant to be useful, this approach could also create clutter along the way, especially for heavy users who may have to work with large numbers of shared folders across multiple projects and teams on their systems. This is where Microsoft’s latest feature comes in, as it is looking to address this inconvenience by giving users the option to place new shortcuts inside a dedicated “Shortcuts” folder instead. The feature is designed to keep shortcut links organized into a single location instead of scattering throughout the main OneDrive directory. Hence, the idea is to make navigation and usability easier and simpler. The first time a user chooses this option, OneDrive will automatically create the folder, and to help make it stand out from the other folders, the Shortcuts folder will have a distinct visual identity featuring a unique color and a building-style icon. That being said, the new Shortcuts will behave just like any other folder in OneDrive, and as such, users will be able to move it to a different location, rename it, share it with others, or remove it entirely if they prefer a different structure. You can view the entry on the Microsoft 365 roadmap website here. Currently, the feature is in the "in development" phase, but the tech giant expects the rollout to start next month (July 2026). Do keep in mind, though, that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
