Life can be sweet.

Check out my news story on DVdoctor's front page about Timothy R. Butler's awesomely-wrong June 4 refutation of Intel-Inside Apple rumours entitled, "Meet Apple's Nessie PC".

It made my day.

I hope it makes yours.

Read it before it gets pulled.

But email me if it does get pulled - I'm sure I'll be able to find it google's cache, now and for the next 50 years.

Being very non techie when it comes to PC's /macs, would the move to intel mean that maybe in the future, FCP (X) might run on PC's?

I've slightly regretted paying out to bump up my PC and add Prem Pro since doing it and thought that if I had my time again I'd maybe have considered a Mac. (I started NLE with Media 100 on a Mac) -

Hi
I guess its in Apple's interests that OS X and Apple software only ever run on Apple hardware, regardless of the CPU manufacturer.

As to wrong-headed predictions I remember Guy Kewney, in Personal Computer World in about 1994, explaining in depth why CD-Rom writers could never ever be faster than x4, using a 'laws of physics' argument! :eek:

I sense the phrase "640K RAM should be enough for anybody" winging its way towards this thread...

Hi
That goes with his statement:
"WWW? Nice toy, but what a waste of time."
Interestingly Bill also said (allegedly):
"To create a new standard it takes something that's not just a little bit different. It takes something that's really new and really captures people's imagination. And the Macintosh, of all the machines I've ever seen, is the only one that meets that standard." :)

Steve Jobs' keynote is now accessible from apple.com

It's an hour long, but Steve Jobs' keynote - now accessible from www.apple.com - is definitely worth viewing.

See my take on the keynote on DVdoctor's front news page.
