Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Apples Switch to Intel Chips
Here's an interesting take on Apple's switch to Intel chips. Basically it was all about getting a good volume discount. Apple has a history of jerking around their suppliers and with the iPod there's a new need for chips that boosts Apples demand. Given the broad range of chip requirements Apple should be able to get a good discount from Intel. Plausible. He also mentions a (much rumored) video iPod but describes it as allowing all the media supported by iLife (including music, photos, video) to be portable, which sounds compelling.
