Rosalina: But you didn't.
Robert: But I DON'T.
Rosalina: You sure that's right?
Robert: I was going to HAVE told you they'd come?
Rosalina: No.
Robert: The subjunctive?
Rosalina: That's not the subjunctive.
Robert: I don't think the syntax has been invented yet.
Rosalina: It would have had to have had been.
Robert: Had to have...had...been? That can't be right.

I saw that yesterday, and I'm skeptical. Until Apple makes an official announcement, it's just a rumor. This reminds of when Dell was flirting with AMD.

However, if Apple does drop IBM for Intel, I don't know if IMB would have any customers for its processors left.

IBM could always hook up with the console industry for chip development.

They have, to some degree. I think that the GameCube uses an IBM chip, and I think the new XBox might actually use one too. But this would still be a very big loss for them.
