Apple On Intel? Not Likely.
Neff obviously hasn't seen the Phil Schiller "Megahertz Myth" presentation. While OS X makes this more feasible - BSD will run on the x86 architecture - the effort to get the OS and apps moved would be tremendous. Remember that some vendors still haven't moved their apps to OS X from OS 9 - a move to a completely new architecture would be an extremely difficult sell.
SALT Those Apps?
I've got a Mac that tells a pretty good "knock-knock" joke. The kids love it, but I admit it's not that practical. Maybe this will be the trick.
