Apple switching to Sun Chips
Now, this is one I totally didn't see coming. I have always thought that Apple might switch to Intel or AMD. We have all heard the rumors of some super secret machine running in a Cupertino basement somewhere that was powered by a combination of an Intel chip and good intentions, but Steven Frank of Panic, Inc, has the real scoop (get it? Ha!) about the big WWDC announcement.Here's a little nugget of joy from the stevenf:
'Apple CEO Steve Jobs today revealed to a stunned WWDC audience that Apple would be transitioning to Sun Chips® brand multigrain snacks.
"Have you tried these suckers?" said the enigmatic head of Apple, referring to the "Harvest Cheddar" variety. "They're fantastic!"
The mercurial Jobs paused to stuff a fistful of the Frito-Lay-manufactured snacks into his mouth.
My favorite line, 'Citing a "ramp-up of production", Jobs committed to personally eating 3,000 bags by next summer, and encouraged developers to do their part. "Although, from the looks of things, you're all doing just fine on the snack front," said Jobs, to stony silence.'

So, the new rumor is about the DRM in Intel's chip - doesn't this tie in the with video pod or set top home device that's been rumored also. It makes a lot more sense for a video ipod OR a set top box OR a special multimedia Mac Mini with both the PowerPC chip AND this Intel chip? And if it's really about the DRM - then it['s the video itunes store (ie: Steve's comments about how Hollywood is reluctant to let go of their stuff, this swould clear ALL that up).

Just as long as it's not those weird nacho cheese flavored chips. Those just weird me out.
Hmmmm, *normal* sunchips! Just like our deities Steve and Bill Joy intended!

Does this mean we should eat Sun Micro Chips too?

That's obviously a doctored image. Someone did a clumsy PhotoShop job of changing green to blue and pasting in that "original" logo. No way Apple is switching to anything but French Onion.
