John Kheit obviously
\nhas no worries about stirring up hornets nests<\/a>. Remember a few days ago when
\n
\nApple announced the switch to Intel<\/a>? The thing is, up until literally hours
\nbefore
\n
\nthat the PPC processor was clearly the one true way<\/a>, spouting off about how
\nmuch faster it is (it wasn’t) and how much better it is (it isn’t) and so on.<\/p>\n

Then the announcement happened.<\/p>\n

Suddenly, the move to Intel<\/a> makes perfect
\nsense! Fear not Mac<\/a> faithful, there is no
\nproblem here and nothing to see! The Intel is clearly better. Double plus good
\nman, have some more cool-aid. And like the good little Electric Monks they are,
\nmany Mac pundits have switched on the
\nBOZO bit<\/a>
\nand completely forgotten their recent rantings.<\/p>\n

Now, I believe it is<\/i><\/b> the right move. The Mac platform hasn’t
\nbeen cost effective for years and it was becoming clear that Apple was losing
\nthe hardware technology war. The platform itself is no longer the bastion of
\n"must have" for design or publishing either. Heck, if it wasn’t for all those
\npeople who think that having an iPod makes them cool Apple would be in worse
\nshape. Intel isn’t just their best play, it’s their only play.<\/b> <\/p>\n

Anyway,

\nthe most recent Kheit article<\/a>
\n
\nstirred up the \/. guys<\/a>… so read it all and enjoy!<\/p>\n
