[X4U] HEY Everyone... News Flash !!!

[Peter Krug]

If this is true, and I hardly doubt it outside of some onboard  
controller chip of some sort, it might be due to all those gaming  
consoles that are about to be released for the XMAS season.  IBM's  
gonna have their hands full filling the chip orders for all those  
Xboxen. Maybe instead of running back to MOTO with their tails  
between their legs, they decide to hedge their bets and give intel a  
try.  Would likely be developer suicide, however.

Is this how our buddy Bill is finally going to put the nail in  
Apple's coffin?  Prevent them from making computers.

Hope they are wrong and this is just another attempt to get some  
quick readership for advertising sweeps...
