I'd like to think there are better role models to represent urban life, but hey where's the cash in that? ]]>Jun 19th 2006 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/apple-50-cent-to-develop-budget-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/apple-50-cent-to-develop-budget-pc/Jun 19th 2006 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/apple-50-cent-to-develop-budget-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/apple-50-cent-to-develop-budget-pc/
Will the Fiddy Ipod now come with a Kevlar outer shell? And will that finally be enough to ensure a "scratch-free" finish?

Is this rumored-upon collaboration due to Apple's well-documented litigous legal department hearing that the working title of Fiddy's Hollywood debut was "Get Rich or Die Trying to Buy a Macbook?"

Considering Jobs' role in Disney and Pixar, will Fiddy make a straight-to-video animated adventure much in the vein of Ray Lewis' immortal Post-Super Bowl celebratory classic "Ray of Light?"

Is Creative going to sue, saying that they had in mind a $0.10 PC that they were co-developing with members of Murder Inc?

Too much material to work with. Must stop.

I could see a 50 Cent commercial (a la Eminem iPod commercial) but does anyone honestly think there would be a budget-level, hip-hop themed, Mac?

They would have made a Red and Black iMac for U2 before doing something silly like a 50 Cent budget Mac.

Bottom line, Apple doesn't want to share it's computer brand with anyone else. Think about Jobs' recent comments on keeping "Mac" in the name of all the new machines. They've been trying to send a message with the new machines that would be contradicted by a co-branded machine.

It simply won't happen. Mark my words.]]>Jun 19th 2006 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/apple-50-cent-to-develop-budget-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/apple-50-cent-to-develop-budget-pc/
Take notes from people who make so much money... cause if you're posting comments on Engadget, you're probably not in the same financial boat as they are.

This may not be the most lucrative investment either one has (or will) make, but every little bit of black always helps the bottom line, and the inner-city is a huge un-tapped pc market with extreme vulnerability to influence from someone like 50 Cent.]]>Jun 19th 2006 2:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/apple-50-cent-to-develop-budget-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/apple-50-cent-to-develop-budget-pc/Jun 19th 2006 2:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/apple-50-cent-to-develop-budget-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/apple-50-cent-to-develop-budget-pc/PC: And I'm a PC.

50 Cent isn't a computer designer... he's just a source of money and a source of influence on the inner-city crowd. He's also not nearly a big enough player to warrant getting his name included.

Jobs will still be in control, but he'll be able to use 50 Cent to target a demographic that would kick his trash if they saw him in their neighborhood.]]>Jun 19th 2006 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/apple-50-cent-to-develop-budget-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/apple-50-cent-to-develop-budget-pc/Jun 19th 2006 3:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/apple-50-cent-to-develop-budget-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/apple-50-cent-to-develop-budget-pc/Jun 19th 2006 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/apple-50-cent-to-develop-budget-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/apple-50-cent-to-develop-budget-pc/
