are you actually claiming that apple and sun have anything in common?

  One rumor going around is that Sun will merge with Apple ... The logic behind this rumor is that Apple is now effectively a Unix company, that Apple and Sun could target the desktop and server markets, respectively -- http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/2003/pulpit_20030213_000762.html http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/2003/pulpit_20030213_0007...

    What's the last time that any of Cringely's predictions actually happened?
    • xirium 19y ago
      His annual predictions for 2007 achieved 61.5% ( http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/2008/pulpit_20080104_003787.html http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/2008/pulpit_20080104_0037... ).

    Apple is too good to merge with Sun who is too good for Apple. So you really think that round table could support those two CEOs? I think it is more likely for Apple to scoop up AMD. In 2 years Steve Jobs will need a reason for all Apple users to buy new machines and the AMD Fusion processor which will have graphics on the CPU die would be a great reason to launch a new OS and a completely in compatible set of solutions in the name of progress and innovation.
