Haha, you're using outdated hardware now, aren't you? I bet your PPC zealotry came to an end with a whimper now! Are you aware that you mini has sub-intel-standard performance?

No, I'm not being serious. But this is such a good opportunity I just had to mock the nearest Mac user. ; )

For me, Intel just doesn't feel like Mac magic, but I'm sure the genius Apple marketing will brainwash me back into line soon enough.

In the weather, we have a cold front heading downwards towards Hell, with a chance of flurries. Remember to de-ice your pitchforks.

Looks like the return of the fat binary.

It seems like a bad time to transition though. Why wasn't this done when OSX came out? Risky...

It is now the Politically Correct Universal Binary.

On the 4 day forecast we have:
Monday: Microsoft announces its plans to release Windows under an OSI licence
Tuesday: Linux becomes a usable desktop for home users and beginners
Wednesday: Debian testers decide to give up on stability and move towards faster releases
Thursday: Be. Inc announces release of it's new OS for PPC: Be Something.

Cold chills will continue as the fire pits of hell slowly begin the deep freeze, and now, a summary of tonight's news...
