And that’s why the whole Mac platform has to shift to Intel. Consumers will want to move content from one device to another — or one computer to another — and Intel’s DRM scheme will keep it all nicely locked down.

Who's gonna buy an x86 Apple twice the price ? Anti-trust laws have failed again to protect humanity from those stalinian corporations.
