Thank you Steve site adds "Daily Stevequote"
Apple is
celebrating it's 30th anniversary this year, and Thank You Steve is a site that
has been set up to commemorate the occasion. Their official launch is scheduled for this Friday, January 27th, but in
the meantime you can check out the daily "Stevequote." Some of the selected gems include
"...You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you
get it built, they'll want something new." Ah, Steve, you're so smart. We're also glad to see that
they're including Woz in their list of quotes.Good luck to Thank You Steve! We look forward to Friday.

Lots of folks were immediately saying "Apples won't be so expensive, now!" when the Intel transition was announced (mostly uninformed Windows users).
And I suppose that Apple can now use commodity chip-sets, and that will be a bit cheaper (if it is indeed true that Apple designed their own chip-sets).
But the Intel chip itself is much, much more expensive than the G5 (and much, much, much more expensive than the G4). Apple's greatest challenge is in maintaining their profitability while they make this switch, it seems to me.
The price on the Core Duo is correct to order of magnitude. Maybe it's $150 (I doubt it) -- that's still about twice the cost of a G5, IIRC. It seems more likely to me that it's in the $200 to $275 range.
This switch is not without risks. Intel chips are the most expensive consumer offerings to be had (and many would say overpriced).

so, Friday - its got to be of the TAM... a black iMac with TV Tuner and a new version of Front Row that rocks the socks off of Media Center PC.
Or just stuff a G5 in an original Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh... for kicks. Oh, I have a snookered iBook, what a mod that'd be - anyone got a TAM casing?

Being how my (real) name is also Steve, I should buy this shirt. I'd look like such a geek!

I don't know about you guys. I thought that the t-shirt seems to look more like what you'd see on a tomb stone.
