Why does MacRumors even post Digitimes rumors? Since I've been a part of MacRumors (1.5 years) I've never seen them get a story right...

Apple has again revised their Universal Binary Programming Guidelines, and it still lists Altivec code as something that can't be translated by Rosetta. Not sure if that's a statement about what's "officially" supported or just the public documentation lagging behind the real technology.

Read the Digitimes article carefully. It is carefully written and 100% credible. Anything speculative is attributed to sources.
"Intel processors will be initially adopted in Apple Computers entry-level Macintosh PC lineup, including the Mac Mini, iBook, and iMac series, with a launch in Taiwan slated for June 6 2006, according to sources at Taiwan PC distributors."
> I believe that a "source (or sources) at aTaiwan PC distributor" probably did say this. There is no reason to think that a "Taiwan PC distributor" would know any more than you or I six months in advance, so this sounds like pure speculation.
"Apple Taiwan declined to comment on the report, noting that the launch schedule would be released according to the companys official statement."
> Yep, sounds just like somethingApple Taiwan would say.
"Apple said earlier that the company would deliver new Macintosh computers using Intel microprocessors by June of next year and transition all of its Macs to using Intel chips by the end of 2007."
> Yep.
"Rumors have circulated that a test version of Apples Mac OS X Tiger version 10.4.1 for an Intel-powered Macintosh has been released for limited testing. "
> Is this wrong? I personally don't have the test version so I don't know if it's 10.4.1,
"Apple is expected to unveil its new Macintosh PCs with the Intel Inside logo on January 9 of next year, when Macworld 2006 takes place in San Francisco from January 9 to 13, sources at domestic PC makers indicated."
> OK, the logo part is pure speculation, but we all believe the rest of it, right?
"A November 30 Reuters report cited Citigroup analyst Richard Gardner as saying that Apple may launch its first Intel-based PowerBook as early as January."
>Anyone think Richard Gardner did not say this?
