Apple iPhone e-mails on e-bay

Ok I’m not going to say to much about the apple iPhone. I’m sure every one knows how cool it is, about its accelerometers to sense movements, and how you can surf the net in a real browser, oh yea and how its the coolest iPod ever.

Max OS X86

I remember talking to a few people about Apples change over to Intel and pondering the future possibilities. One of them being that they should have a huger performance gain. The other being Intel chips on a Mac and in a PC should eventual lead to OS X running on a PC. i was searching around the net today and stumbled upon this! OS X86 Project seams there is a community devoted to updating and keeping track of all hardware and software issues as well as patches needed to run OS X on a PC. as of will be a AMD version in time.
