Jon "Hannibal" Stokes' essay on the Apple-to-Intel transition, "Hell Freezes Over," provides a great "informed guess" roadmap/timeline for the new InMacs™.

Big Apple news

Just back from New York. At one point, while I had a big cup of Stardoink's, I conducted a very nonscientific eyeball survey of the number of iPod wearers during my break: one out of every eleven passersby were spouting white earbuds. And the upper age limit appeared to be about 70 years old.

And I also asked 100 iPod-wearers on trains and buses whether they used the hard drive capability of the unit to move files. None did and most said they didn't even know it was possible.

Well, we'll have to wait and see what passes through the Adobe digestive tract, after it's completely devoured its formerly pesky adversary Macromedia.

Hopes are high that Dreamweaver and Fireworks will survive the feasting. Flash is the Shaq of the web design world, and we're certain it will remain. The little niceties that came along with Contribute, like Flashpaper, might end up as side dishes that never get touched. Let's hope so.

But we're looking at this in a positive light.
