Intel: Not Just for Crappy Windows Machines Anymore

Of course it's all over Technorati. Trying to dispel the kind of hand-wringing usually reserved for anytime George Lucas futzes with the original trilogy, Jobs let us in on another little secret: Apple's been compiling all the versions of OS X on Intel-based machines for the past five years. Apparently Apple wasn't happy with either the heat or the slowness of IBM's G5 chips, so it's turning to Intel for x486 chips. But don't worry: Jobs assures us that non-Mac Intel-based machines will not be able to run OS X, learning from its massive mistake from the mid-90s.

Anyway, the best news of all is that Apple's ads will now feature the Blue Man Group. Rock on!
