Rumor mill: Apple Switching to Intel-compatible chips

By C.K. Sample, III

File this rumor under: I don't believe it.  Nevertheless, Paul Thurrott, blogging WinHEC 2005 notes "This one's bizarre, but we heard at lunch today that Apple
is unhappy with the PowerPC production at IBM and will be switching to Intel-compatible chips this very year. Yeah, seriously."

I'm wondering exactly who was heard saying this. 
Sounds like another vacuous rumor to me, especially on the heels of a brand new G5 announcement, although the Apple-related comments on the post are pretty amusing to read through.

Thanks for the tip, Jayson!
