Dvorak At It Again: "Apple will go Itanium"
It's a strange column, really. Let's take one center piece to rip it apart, although that's not really necessary. I'm not saying Apple CAN'T go Itanium. It's an option like everything else, but as Mr. Dvorak also says, Apple fears that people will be able to run Mac OS X on vanilla hardware.
Later on in the article, he claims: "Third, if Apple optimizes the OS X kernel for the Itanium, the likelihood of the Apple OS being ripped off by normal PC users is nil."
One simple question, Mr. Dvorak: Why is that so? Because nobody bloody wants to buy Itanium hardware. And why, Mr. Dvorak, is that so? Because it's slow, hot and expensive. So, why, Mr. Dvorak, would Apple jump from one cold bed into another? Yep, Apple wouldn't. Strike that column and write a better one... (fryke)

Some Americans Are NOT At War
The person elected for president of the United States, for example, has joined Apple's board. I'm talking, of course, of Al Gore. Kudos to Apple for making a clear statement against the current American regime. (fryke)
