This is an ecclectic mix...

Where else can you get commentary on movies ,TV, sports, news and psychotherapy?

I can't think of any.

On the technology front, it seems as though Apple is allegedly looking into possibly running some Intel processors in its computers. I can say that many Apple purists will be upset by this, but all I can see is lower prices for me. Besides, speed is speed no matter how it gets done and most of the time good operating systems and a ton of RAM help tremendously.

It doesn't make any difference anyway because Mac OS X is always going to have a leg up on Windows simply because Apple writes the OS and they don't let just any company with a factory make hardware for them. If you don't have to worry about making 200 different sound cards, modems and video cards work with your operating system, you've eliminated one huge hurdle in the computer world... Hardware conflicts.

The only thing that Apple has going against it is that gaming isn't as easy and you will probably have to buy any software you use instead of pirating it from your neighbor. However, staying away from jail time and $250,000 fines isn't necessarily a bad thing and so is not having your computer crash constantly either. I have two Macs and haven't had one OS crash in almost two years. That's including video editing 11 gigs of video at one time and authoring 2 DVD's with bare minimum systems.

It's truly a shame that only 5% of the computing world gets to have this much fun.
