like a lot of things cringely writes, this strikes me as kind of dubious. on the other hand, i hope it's true.
the fact that apple machines used to have a totally different architecture than PCs felt right, in a psychological way. it drew a clear line in the sand between Us and Them. now that apple machines are pretty much the same under the hood as PCs ... it's sad.
cringely's reasoning sounds specious, but i haven't heard anybody come up with anything better to explain why apple needs a chip company.

I'm a bit of an Apple fanboy myself, but I simply don't get this attitude. I want the best processor in my machines. I admit that I have an emotional attachment to my personal computers, but it somehow does not encompass the brand of processor (or hard drive, graphics chip, etc.).
