Of small interest

Yes, I too would like to have a 3-GHz Mac on my desktop for $899. However, despite the fact that OS X is quite capable of running on an Intel chip, here's a nicely thought-out editorial on why that won't happen soon.

And for those on my friends list who still need a PlayStation 2, Deals On The Web has a Sony refurbed PS2 with a subwoofer tossed in for $129. That's only $30 bucks more than a PS1 if I remember correctly.

Having read that article, and the Dvorak articles that inspired it, I suspect the main reason Jobs was speaking to an Intel audience was to freak out Bill Gates. That, and to distract the industrial spies out there from what Apple is really planning.

Hey, there's always the iBox.

I'm following that story with great interest. If Apple doesn't sue the pants off him, he could be a nice alternative source.
