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...
- jey 19y agoWhat's the last time that any of Cringely's predictions actually happened?

- jdavid 19y agoApple 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.
