This morning I read
here
that Mac Daily News reports that the developer's build of OS X for Intel runs on any standard PC. The second I read this it made CLICK! in my brain... If this is true then that explains why Apple will wait until 2006/2007 to ship "the real thing" - very clever! Spreading Mac OS X like wildfire!
I then followed the links and quickly got where my analysis was shared... The Shape of Days calls it
"Try before you buy?"
:
"The Intel-based Power Macintoshes that Apple is showing at their developer conference are based on an Intel motherboard, generic Intel graphics and off-the-shelf Pentium 4 CPUs."
...they run a build of Mac OS X 10.4.1 that includes Apple’s bundled iLife ’05 suite of applications.
"A reader who for obvious reasons wishes to remain anonymous just demonstrated to me that the software is, in fact, already available on Internet software piracy sites."
"If I can think through this stuff, Apple’s management can think through this stuff."
"This is the most awe-inspiring stealth marketing move I’ve ever seen."

HTML 5 highlights from
HTML 5 vs. XHTML 2
:
- <datagrid>: As you can imagine. A rich data grid component.
- <canvas>: We are really excited about Canvas, which you can play with a litle in the Firefox 1.1 alphas (buggy)
- Range: Imagine <input type="range">. Yahoo! Mindset could have just used this.
- Email, Url, Time, Date: <input type="email|url|time|date">. Rich.
- Simply allow editable content: <content Editable=""..
- Event Sources: <event-source src="/some/path" onevent="process(event)"/> rather than a lot of JavaScript and iframes.

Andrew Roberts offers a
recap of the Sun Java / Apache Harmony situation
including these quotes of Dalibor Topic:
"Apache Software Foundation, an organisation that's been quite successful at writing, maintaining and encouraging donations of Free Software written in the Java programming language eventually started thinking that a full J2SE implementation might be a good thing to have under Apache's umbrella as well, beside a huge chunk of the stack above it."
"These days, there is an almost full Free Software stack, going from the Linux kernel, to the supporting GNU libraries from one side, and going from certified, compatible enterprise software development and deployment environments and their supporting libraries from the other side, like JBoss or JOnAS. The only remaining non-free card in that software stack is a fully compatible Free Software runtime for programs and libraries written in the Java programming language."

As I see it, Apple using Intel cores in future Macs may be less of a switch than an shift towards fewer dependencies and commodity core components. The long, long, looong term future might be a "best of breed" multi-architecture strategy. Apple (Steve) is probably very pissed at IBM and will burn all bridges. Let's hope IBM won't return the favor and will be there when they have not just a roadmap but are on the road and can deliver.

"The European Union says Switzerland can only be part of the passport-free Schengen zone if voters come out in favour of extending an existing labour accord."
Did we vote last weekend on a "passport-free Schengen zone"? Didn't Swiss cabinet ministers tell us that "nothing will change on the border"? Wasn't it the Swiss diplomats that to the surprise of the EU insisted on including a Schengen accord in the second round of bilateral agreements and isn't it funny how it now comes back to bite them by threatening to bring down the entire bilateral agreements already in effect since 2002? :-)
I think the various pre and post vote statements from pretty much all sides are just playing out hilariously. Swiss-EU relations are quickly becoming reduced to a rather complex oxymoronic comedy.
As a result, it is already clear that it is only a question of time until the entire bilateral agreements (both I and II) between Switzerland and the European Union will have to be renegotiated.
