Gotta love Apple marketing. :D

Looks like all Mac users are now on the Dark Side.

My plan for world domination is now complete.

WTF? Are the Mac-Intel computers out? I want one!

yellowline 01-10-2006 10:37 AM

MacBook? Sorry, sounds pretty stupid compared with PowerBook.

I do like the line on the top, though. :D

Oops...I already wet my pants.

The dark side was always Microsoft operating systems, not the hardware.

I said my life would be complete with the Quad G5, but... it'll REALLY be complete with the MacBook. Holy hell is that sexy or what??

Intel's dual-core notebook chips are really impressive. High performance, low power consumption. A big upgrade from PowerPC G4, even from G5. I can't justify replacing my fairly-new iMac G5, but I am pretty interested in the 15" MacBook (previously PowerBook) as our iBook is 5 years old.

Q: Since AAPL changed the "PowerBook" to "MacBook" to get away from the "Power" name, what will they call the Intel-based "PowerMac"? "MacMac" is a non-starter.

I asked for a Macbook for Christmas and all I got was gift certificates to Mac Donalds

FrayAdjacent911 01-10-2006 02:11 PM

The true dark side is Linux... not Mac... :P

I heard "MacPro Tower" being thrown around on Mac forums, though that isn't official at all...

I think they should've stuck with the PowerBook name. I know they want to get away from the PowerPC chip and anything to do with "power," but it's a good name, especially for "the fastest laptop ever..."

How about this... AAPL closed at $80.86 today. Anyone notice anything ironic about that?

ronin 01-10-2006 07:05 PM

lol! maybe tomorrow it'll close at 8088

krichard 01-10-2006 07:18 PM

they would have been smarter to go with AMD. No bias here........

BlueSkyJaunte 01-13-2006 11:23 AM

Probably not, but at this rate Intel's stock is headed for $2.86.

Oh my god, the new iLife tools are beyond awesome. Take a look at my website boys, it went together like buttah.

I used the new iWeb software, its unreal. http://www.apple.com/ilife/iweb/. Even a bunch of gearheads like you Pelicans can put together stuff like this!

Start buying that Apple stock, its not nearly done running.
