The Guardian has an article detailing a discussion with Apple’s Steve Jobs where he comments on the direction Apple might be heading. Also it takes a look at Steve’s ego.
Guardian Unlimited:
In fact, it doesn’t really matter who is presenting or what is being discussed. When Steve enters a room, everything stops and attention turns to him. When he walks in you get the feeling that he has sucked all the other thoughts out of the room. As for quoting him precisely - you don’t take notes if you want to live. (At Apple’s most recent sales briefing, nobody was allowed to have a notebook, phone or computer out while Steve spoke.)

I’m thinking about getting a Intel Core Mac, perhaps instead of buying a Vista powered Tablet PC in 2007. via Digg:
The price of Intel Core Duo chips is set to plummet on the 28th of May, and there’s faster chips coming along anyroadmap. Those include the 2.33GHz T2700, but this is only the start of better things from Chipzilla later this year.
What makes these attractive to me is the possibility of running a dual boot Mac/Windows box. I really like — and might even have come to prefer — the Mac desktop interface to Windows.

Sounds like good news for C# programmers wanting to dip their toes into the Mac.
via Mike Harsh:
So what is WPF/E? It is a cross-platform, cross-browser web technology that supports a subset of WPF XAML. WPF/E also has a friction-free install model and the download size we’re targeting is very small. WPF/E supports programmability through javascript for tight browser integration. The WPF/E package also contains a small, cross platform subset of the CLR and .NET Framework that can run C# or VB.NET code. Yes, we are bringing C# programming to the Mac.
Digg reader razzi notes that you can already do C# programming on the Mac using Mono.
