I see it's official. [link]

In reverse order:

[1:34 PM] Steve confirmed all this, BTW, by saying the rumors have been true about how Apple had an Intel project. - posted by Dave

[1:33 PM] Today's demonstration has been done entirely on an Intel Mac. Steve is showing us how everything works. - posted by Dave

[1:33 PM] Every project done at Apple has been mandated to work on PowerPC and Intel. - posted by Dave

[1:33 PM] "This has been going on for the last five years." Every release of OS X has been compiled and run on Intel processors. - posted by Dave

[1:32 PM] "Mac OS X has been leading a secret double life. There have been rumors to this effect...(laugh). We've had teams working on the just in case scenario." - posted by Dave

not done yet, will put in dev hands soon. How to make it work with your apps - separate code, xcode will compile for all, cocoa with minor tweeks and a recompile will work without a hitch - can be ready in a few days. Carbon will still take a few weeks to recompile but xcode makes things faster. Xcode 2.1 released, builds universal binary (one binary works on both PPC and intel)

eta:

not every app will be easy to convert, so translate PowerPC code inline into tel - dynamic binary translator. Photoshop plugins for PPC binary translate without a hitch. Developer transition kit - 3.64Ghz P4, for select and premier developers only $999.

Heh, Tommyrot X-Post.

Did Jobs say anything about movies, etc. that fit with the Pentium D movie DRM theory (from Wired) I posted above?

"Reports are coming into the Buffista newsroom, that yes, Hell froze over at a little after 10 am PDT today...."

Haha. I told my mom exactly the same thing on the phone. I was like "Hey, did you hear that Hell froze over this morning?" and she was like "Yep. Apple's switching to Intel" and then Keanu was, like, "whoa" and I was like, "yeah" and... I should stop now.

It was kind of weird. My mom shouldn't know that stuff until I tell her.

Of course, if Jobs can get to Mac operating system working on all the Intel equipment that's out there now...

As per Usual, a Quark 6.0 Question...

In Adobe Indesign (and Pagemaker) I could open something called text editor, and just work on the text in there, with no formatting, etc. Since I have a small screen, it really saved me from making a lot of mistakes, as this is what I mostly do.

Is there a similar feature in Quark, so I can work with just the words, or do I need to do this in a layout view?

Sophia, I'm not familiar enough with Quark 6.0 yet to know the answer. Plus, I've been using Quark (4.1) for almost 10 years here, and tend to treat it like a word processing/text editor program, right in layout view.
