Having read the CNet News.com story about Apple’s supposed impending
switch to x86, let me propose an excellent code name for this
forthcoming system: “Nessie.” Like Nessie’s namesake Loch Ness
Monster, the rumor of Mac OS on x86 rings of the stuff of tabloids,
not something that people take seriously. Of course, that leaves us
to ask what we are to make of it when one of the most respectable
online computer news sources, News.com, reports as virtual fact that
Apple will be switching to Intel, and the story apparently seems
credible enough to get Reuters to pick it up.
