Wednesday, January 10, 2007 I was doin' some thinkin' last night, and realized a couple things. First, I'm thinkin' Gov. Arnie has ulterior motives with his little health plan thing ... it's a roundabout way to get driver's licenses for illegal aliens! Because how else is he gonna tell who's a resident of California and who's not? Since his health plan covers all Californians. His true colors are finally coming out, Republican my ass. He's a liberal whacknut socialist like the rest of 'em. And I was also thinkin' about Apple Computer, erm Apple Inc. and their little name change thing. Made me wonder if this is the first step in them abandoning the computer hardware market. Maybe switching to offering only the operating system. I mean, there's gotta be a reason why they switched to Intel (PC chips) after decades of insisting their chips were better than PC chips. And Windows runs on the Intel Mac. And they didn't release any new computer hardware or redesigns at MacWorld yesterday. So what gives? Well here's my theory: Sell the "Mac" tech to a PC maker (sorta like the 80's only this time sell for real, not "license",) to dump that expensive not-so-profitable sector of the company. Tweak MacOS so it runs outta the box on a PC (should be possible, rewrite the boot code, a la Boot Camp.) Directly compete against Windows Vista by offering a "stable, secure operating system" that's easy to use, outta the box, and that doesn't require hefty upgrades to your existing hardware. Then, once people have Mac OS on their computer, they'll get hooked (theoretically) and since they can still run Windows XP, they won't have to dump all their existing software. Apple sells lots of OS software, doesn't have all that hardware overhead, and can focus on their iPod/iTunes stuff and their new iPhone. Microsoft said in the 80's they wanted to put a "computer on every desktop." Apple can put a "computer in your pants" (and an OS X on your desktop.) Hasta la Vista, Microsoft!
