Apple shifts to Intel

Scobleizer and many others have been blogging on this all day, but CNN just confirmed that Apple computers will make a major shift in their processors by 2007.
The company will start fitting all their machines with Intel processors instead of the IBM chips they have used for years.
No one really knows the implications of this decision yet, but for me its a big "I told you so," to all my Apple-a-holics.
If Apple's run so much better and work so much better than PC's, why would they need to change to Intel processors that have been running PC's for so many years.
Who knows what the future holds? But either way, it could be bad news for IBM.

Steve Jobs was the orignator of "Punked" when he took a $5,000 payment from Atari for the game "Breakout" that Steve Wozniak created and told Wozniak that he was only paid $700 and gave him his fair share of $350. That in a nutshell has been the business practices of the CEO of Apple to today. Now Jobs takes a more Bill Gates approach to his company by taking programs Mac users like and are free.. then bundling them with 3 or 4 other programs nobody wants and charging people for it. w00t!
