San Francisco — A stormy, decade-long relationship between Apple Computer Inc. and IBM is over, according to published reports.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs is expected to announce Monday at the company's software developers conference in San Francisco that Apple will discontinue using microprocessor chips made by IBM in favour of Intel chips, according to CNET Networks Inc.'s News.com and The Wall Street Journal

hey, does this mean OS X will run... oh wait, never mind. :P

on a more serious note, does this mean that MACs will have DRM because intel is putting DRM in their chips?

Why not?

If some web services are going to require a Trusted computer, mightn't a Mac need to support it in order for its users to utilize the service?

Someone should write a worm that attacks the DRM in those chips.

I wouldn't buy an apple without a worm.
