Is there a XML subscription that I can subscribe to that will let’s be hear a podcast of Steve Job’s announcements at WWDC?   I think Dave Winer mentioned it on the Podcaster mailing list.  But I was thinking it also. 

It would seem natural.

From personal experience, I’d be cautious of Mr. Jobs.  He killed the whole Newton project just as it was getting to a point were it was "really useful." (to steal a phrase from Sir Topham Hatt).

Another thing that Apple is going to have some PR trouble with is on the hardware side of near-term sales.  I was seriously considering getting a Macintosh in the near future.  I think I might be waiting to see how this plays out in the switch to Intel.

Question is … can I buy Mac OS X (Intel) and install it on any hardware that I can get drivers for.  Or only on Apple hardware?  Will there be a way or a need to run it with VMWARE or VirtualPC?

I was very close to Apple as a developer and systems integrator when Apple brought in the NeXT hardware and software, which was all Intel based.  There was an a lot of opportunity there to do something similar.  But I think the end-game at the time was to kill the Mac-OS cloners (remember them — also killed by Mr. Jobs) and to merge Mac/NeXT/MACH Kernel.

Use the Force Luke … don’t give in to the ‘Job’master.

Anyway … I am getting silly now.  Have a GREAT day.
