Going back to IBM's G5 chip, I have nothing against
the chip.  Like I have said before, it is a fine piece
of engineering just like the Opteron is.

It is just that it is very funny that IBM designed it.
The whole PowerPC line is based on IBM designs. This is *old* news. The only really "new" news is that Motorola is now out of the loop. 



In the PC world, this is no surprise at all.  But
remember, in the Apple world until recently IBM
was the big evil "Big Brother." 

1984 isn't really "recently"

NeXT worked with IBM. Apple's been working with IBM since the early 90s.

Again, *old* news.

The very Big

Brother that Steve Jobs is now glorifying for
providing the G5.  In 2003, Apple ads glorify
IBM's contribution.  In 1984, an Apple commercial
showed a hammer being thrown at "Big Brother"
which represented IBM.

Just goes to show you how warped things were
at Apple back then (1983-1984).  Those warped
crusades were also part of the reason for what
Apple did to the Apple II line.
