[Edn.com] Apple: Intel Inside? - Brian's Brain - Blog on EDN - 400000040: Did Otellini recommend folks buy Macs? I know him from my past Intel career, and have also seen him in action plenty of times since joining EDN. Trust me, he doesn't get flustered and blurt out things he later regrets; he's very smart, very skillful, and in public forums he says exactly what he intends to say. Otellini could have been referring to the i945 core logic chipset his company just rolled out, which reportedly contains hardware security hooks.

[Edn.com] Apple on Intel; Forecasted Transition Complete By End of 2007 ...: 7) Apple will also be shipping 'Rosetta' emulation technology that enables PowerPC binaries to run on Intel hardware, transparent to users ("this is nothing like Classic") and with "fast (enough)" performance. I suspect this is based on Transitive's technology, which I wrote about in part 2 of my Intel Developer Forum trip report, but this wasn't revealed by Jobs. Demo'd apps included Microsoft Office for Mac (Word and Excel), Intuit Quicken, and Adobe Photoshop CS2.

I cleary remember to have seen a screenshot from an unused splash screen of a Rhapsody Developer CD saying »Rhapsody for Intel«.

[Backupbrain.com] Backup Brain: I told him that I was leaving for WWDC that afternoon, and was there anything at all he could do so that I could have a laptop during the show? We worked out a deal so that I could have a loaner 12" iBook while my PowerBook was being repaired, and while I wasn't happy that my machine had died, or that I was losing a week's worth of work (I take a backup every Sunday, so of course it died on a Saturday), I had no complaints at all about the level of service I'd received.
