Jobs founded NeXT, and Apple bought NeXT, so it's hardly stealing ideas. That's why I chose the word "recycling". And the best marketers make origami out of the truth. Lots of bends, folds and twists, but no cuts. Jobs comes close. So does Gates, for that matter. Regarding the cubes, the form is the same and so is the OS. Mac OS X is based on a NeXT core. Tom CF

Um, no I don't. But another important part of marketing is stealing other peoples ideas and presenting them as your own. So marketing people not only don't tell the truth, but they also steal. Um, not exactly, NeXT was steve Job's company. The concept of the Box was to choose for the consumer the best technologies(in steve's opinion), together with a network oriented operating system and eliminate the rest, then package the whole thing up in a "box" which is about the same size as the new "cube". Apple under Amelio, later bought next back, apres Scully. He didn't steal the idea, it was his.

John, I don't know if the discussion of P4/Rambus at the CC was posted here. I forgot to, but this article captured it well, as I recall (Intel leaving the door open to something other than Rambus). Also, the article is quite objective (not sure the author was listening to the same CC that I was). Tony Responding to several analysts' questions on the subject, Intel left open the possibility that it will design a non-Rambus chip set. "We still view this memory technology as the best at delivering overall performance at the platform level relative to our microprocessors. It is still on our road map as a primary memory technology," Otellini said. "That's not to say that we won't have other memory configurations on another chip set to take advantage of different price points in the marketplace." Essentially, Intel is hedging its bets, Kumar said. "They are not taking a position on whether they will let the P4 be crucified on the Rambus cross," he said. "If there is enough pushback from the OEMs, they'll have a backup strategy and go with the SDRAM." zdnet.com
