Here is a slideshow of his internals.

Commander of the British Empire. Queen Elizabeth II has inserted Johnathan Ive in the New Year Honours list of Great Britain. … He is widely seen as one of the key figures in Apple’s resurrection. Mr Ive started working for Apple in 1992 but exerted a big influence on its products only in 1997 when Steve Jobs returned to the company he co-founded. Mr Ive’s first design for Apple, the iMac, was hugely influential and has been followed by a series of other widely admired gadgets. ...

I have no money (probably, as you know) and on my old and noisy linux-box have a simple GeForce-2 MX inside. But I hope a day to have enough money for a MONSTER like this: On MacCity, an article about the next x1900.

This was the most accredited motivation that causes Apple to choose Intel against AMD. I prefer AMD but… seems to be that Intel are much more “efficient”. And “in Jobs we trust”, right :D? See here.

Hypothetical new logos: here. Hypothetical new slogan: Intel, leap ahead. Eric Kim, Marketing CEO of Intel, say: Simple expression that highlights who we are and where we go. In this article (in italian) on MacCity there are some other informations about this “revolution”: the Pentium name will die. Names like “Core Solo” or “Core Duo” will be the news. Read the article above for more details. IMHO, Apple will not use the Intel logo on the future MacTel machines… I hope :|.

Che capatone che sono queste vignette: sono simpaticissime. Un simpatico iMac (2 versioni fa ormai, ;-( come passa il tempo, eh?) ed un PC con installato WinXP. Un esempio?: Quù la fonte: MONIPODIO.NET.

ItalyGuides ci segnala la nascita di una interessantissima iniziativa: grazie ad iPodGuides é possibile scaricare sul proprio iPod (ma anche su cellulari capaci di leggere mp3) la guida audio per i maggiori centri di attrazione turistico-artistica italiani. Finalmente, non sarete più costretti a stare appresso a noiose ed arbitrariamente tediose bandierine gialle che vi guidano durante la visita delle meraviglie architettoniche del bel paese: ora potrete premere PAUSA in qualsiasi momento!

I don’t know this: Apple, in past, did PDA. Apple Newton. Here a wikipedia article. And here an article (in italian) of Melablog about a museum dedicated to this fashinating PDA.

… Il dual core dovrebbe chiamarsi “Centrino Duo” (confermando parzialmente una precedente ipotesi) e sarà disponibile in una versione a basso consumo (velocità disponibili 1,5 GHz, 1,66 GHz e 1,83 GHz) ed in una ad alte performance (1,66 GHz, 1,83 GHz, 2 GHz e 2,16 GHz). Le versioni “performance” potrebbero essere annunciate più tardi. Sempre Think Secret azzarda uno Yonah 1,5 GHz per i nuovi iBook, mentre per i Powerbook dovremo aspettare più tempo, cioè quando saranno presentate le versioni “performance” del processore. … ...

Ok, also Apple does believes in PowerPC no more. It seems that the future will be Intel-Based (ooooh my good!?!? what a joke? O_o), but the world is wide and the Tecnologies are much too much. IBM and Sun, in similary way, are opening our tecnology (PowerPC and lastest Ultra Sparc, respectivelly) to the comunity (in particular, to Universitary comunity) to create (they hope) a large comunity of developer that are interest in study and development of this, in any case, big and powerfull platform (IMHO). ...
