Intell in a mac ? Yeah .. when piggs can fly. And apparently .. they can. At seven PM local time I was following the live (typed) report of the first Apple Keynote for 2005 when this picture popped up onto my screen. I mean .. I knew there where going to be some new things out .. I knew we where going to have powerbooks (excuse me MACbooks) with intell chips .. but THIS picture .. I had never thought I would see. So yesterday I was a part of history . Reading the events as they happened I was at the 'front row' of the switch from Apple to Intell as Microsofts beloved Xbox 360 runs on Motorola chips.. Its a fucked up world. Yeahyeah .. Mac released some cool new software .. some new ipod gadgets and a dream of a MACBOOK with an Intell Processor. Now I have been dreaming of a Powerbook for about a year now .. and still no luck because they are too expensive. Along comes the macbook and its even MORE expensive !!!!! Frack !!!! Oh well .. time will tell what this year will bring. I'm gonna wait it out a little and see what happens to the second hand market of powerbooks.. Perhaps i'll buy me one of those.

Following up on yesterdays post : I had barely finished the show when THIS popped along :

The end of classic Media.

Show number 20, Life on a Stick still has to be mixed down ... and allready i'm working on another edition of the Knightcast... Its twelve o'clock at night and sleep is the farthest thing from my mind. Surrounded by the silence of the night the only sounds i'm hearing come from my ever growing Itunes music library. As I browse through its content I notice that I somehow am preferring podcasts or independant artists over my enormous cd collection I converted to mp3. In the back of the room our PVR-computer sits useless in the corner. Untill a few months ago its tv-tuner card played content on a daily bases.. As I peered over the edge of my screen at mainstream television .. it offered me a minute distraction and even piked my interest long enough to let me get up and watch some 'old school tv'. But somehow I have a gut feeling that it too will suffer what its brother-radio has suffered. Total deprivation of its users attention. As podcasting drove away the need to listen to standard radio.. the ever shifting palet of content I can wade through will undoubtably alienate me from 'the tube' as well. Somtimes its good to stop .. to stop.. look around and look at what has changed in the last five years.. And not only how man changed technology .. but more importantly .. how technology has affected us.. Once again we stand before the boundries of a new world : Where video is mobile and content is highly selectable. The last giants of linear media shriek their deathcry as I tune out of mainstream programming ... and build my own selection .. of what I REALY want to watch...

These are once again.. Interesting times.
