Why Itanium Would Be Suicide for Apple. For nearly as long as I can remember, people have been expecting Apple to switch to Intel processors. John Dvorak's recent prediction that Apple would switch within the next 12 to 18 months is unusual only in that he sees Apple going to Itanium rather than x86 chips.
But just like all the forecasters that came before him, Dvorak has it wrong. [osOpinion] comment []9:07:36 PM
As Good as It Gets for Linux. It's great to see Linux getting the attention it deserves. But I wonder if any Linux lovers suspect they are witnessing the apogee of Linux' reign. It's time to drink up the air and enjoy the moment, because it will not last. [osOpinion] comment []9:03:53 PM
