Ohh shiny new Apples

Unless you've been living under a rock latily, you must know that Apple is shifting away from PowerPC chips to Intel ia32 chips. Oddly enough, all the new gaming consoles are shifting TO PowerPC (and derivitives).

I've been highly interested in the new Apple MacBook pro - for the main reason that it (will eventually) run Linux as well as OS X. That would be very, very nice. If you have not played with OS X then you are really missing out - it's just dead cool. And it has a real command line, unix kernel, and all the goodies to fascinate software geeks for many years to come.

They were announced on the 10'th of January - and here's the whole point of the article. The stock market jumped up and Apple's stock closed at $80.86. (look at 1/10/06)

Yeah, as in Intel 8086.

LOL.. now I really wonder if the tin-foil hat guys are right about the stock market?
