Journal Journal: Do-it yourself quantum mechanics

Journal by morgan_greywolf on Tuesday May 15, 2007 @12:50PM

Scientific American this month is offering a quantum physics experiment you can do at home. It's a variation of the classic double-slit experiment that uses nothing more than a laser pointer, some polarizing film and a thin wire.

Journal Journal: Think Apple - Intel is about low power and dual core CPUs?

Journal by morgan_greywolf on Monday July 11, 2005 @12:00PM

Guess again.

This announcement comes to quickly on the heels of the Apple -> Intel announcement. Don't you think IBM would have tried to persuade Apple to stay with PowerPC chips?

Well, there they are. The chips Apple wanted: the low power G5 and the dual-core G5. Do you think IBM developed those for other customers?

Get over it, fanboys: this about pricing and profit.

I think Apple is intending to move themselves out of the high-end niche market and go head-to-head with the likes of Dell and HP. Soon we'll see $299 Intel Mac boxes that can run Mac OS X and Windows. Apple may even obtain an Microsoft OEM license for Windows XP (Longhorn?)

It's over. The Apple Mystique is gone. Get over it.
