  • The Blackfriar thinks that A le might be looking at Intel, but for reaso other than powering the next generation of Macs
  • Tim Bray offers up a reason why A le might not be thrilled with IBM, other than the sluggish proce or eeds
  • Tom Bridge starts quoting Ghostbusters, so you know it must be bad
