MacIntel Vs. MikeDell

Everyone is talking about how Apples move to the Intel platform is going to reshape the OS landscape. What about hardware? Dell has fought and lost to Intel many times over selling AMD chips. So much in fact AMD is suing Intel over “Predatory Tactics”. Basically Intel repeatedly threatens to pull its sweet heart deal from Dell if they sell any AMD chips.

Apple (Steve Jobs) always states, “Apple is a hardware manufacture”. Intel must have cut a sweet chip deal with Apple or the switch to MacIntel could never have happened. I wonder how Dell is going to react when Intel starts selling chips to Apple at heavily slashed rates. Is Dell going to start selling cheaper AMD boxes , backup AMD I their lawsuit, or role over and take it in the ass? Either way if I was in Dell shoes I would be scared and super pissed.

Mr. Boombastick

This little guy really has the worst sort of luck. I somehow find solace in the fact that my life is not as tragically sad as Mr. Boombastick's.

Dam that little bastard in episode 9. Boombastick should kick him in the dink!

Audacity

Audacity is a free audio editor and recorder.

I have not gotten a chance to fully check this out yet but it does look promising. The app is cross-platform (windows, Mac, Linux).

It does not have as many features as similar Adobe or Sonic Foundry products but it is free as in beer and you can’t beat that with keyboard.

After I get a chance and a decent microphone I'll post about this more.
