PPC G5 On The Way -- And Fast 526
Sulka writes: "The Register has a report claiming the PPC G5 CPU is ready for production and will be launched by Apple in January. Initial batch would include a 1.6GHz version with 2GHz to follow. 64 bit architecture, 10 stage pipeline, Silicon-On-Insulator and other buzzwords are mentioned." Maybe this will mean cheaper G4s for those of us who buy computers somewhat lower on the food chain, too.

I'd like to get my hands on a (hopefully cheaper) G4, and put Yellow Dog on it. I love YD on my G3, it flies...

Well, good for you, piracy is GOOD for Apple!
One of the reasons I will always be a loyal Apple customer is they don't try to pull any licensing bullsh*t like Microsoft does.
Nah, Apple pulls the same 'licensing' crap that MS does - totally dude. On opening day at the local AppleStore(TM)(c)(SM), I grabbed an iMac (with that handy little handle) and tried to run out the door with it. They actually had the gall to call me a thief! Imagine that! They claimed there was some 'licensing' issue with me just stealing their hardware.
Assholes. I'm going PC now, all the way man!
Funny how you understand that Apple is a hardware company that tolerates theft of their software that only runs on their hardware, yet you fault Microsoft for trying to make money on their primary products. Not that you have any chance of using logic, or anything.

There is even find a paper about the problem [folk.uio.no] on the web.
I think you'll find that Steve Jobs knows how to market things to avoid that problem...

You know you are heavily involved with computers when you call them "food".
