Second Thoughts About Intel In Macs: "A deluge of reader mail has opened my eyes to some very sound reasons why the Motorola PowerPC chip's days may be numbered." (BusinessWeek via MyAppleMenu) [MyAppleMenu]

This seems to be a current fixation. I doubt that we'll see this happening in the near future. Would the Mac software vendors be willing to port their codes to Intel-based Macs? And would the users be willing to buy those new versions of software packages?

PC Mag Recommends iPhoto: "Your best bet is to get a Macintosh," says PC Magazine to prospective digital still camera buyers. (MacNN via MyAppleMenu) [MyAppleMenu]

I have been more than happy with iPhoto. I have only about 200 pictures on my iBook, but in the near future I will buy one of these new digital cameras. Then I'll fill up the hard disk on my iBook, no doubt about it.

Another quote of Flirting With Mac OS X: "If you have been using Linux for some time and just love its stability and performance, and find it a natural platform for development, you'll feel right at home on the Mac OS X. On the other hand, if you feel at times frustrated by the difficulty with which modern devices (like wireless, DVD, or FireWire devices) work on Linux, then you might find Mac OS X to be what you've been longing for."
