Well it's 4:45 AM and I was about to fall on asleep on the couch. Turned on the news to hear rumor turned to fact.
The news woman starts, "Well, it's official, Apple and IBM are divorcing. Steve Jobs will be announcing a departure from using the PowerPC chip from partner IBM and will be switching to Intel's computer chips. The announcement is expected by analysts later this morning at Apple's annual worldwide developer conference."

That's from memory, but pretty close. Not a mention of it being a rumor or anything. Good job CBS.

I didn't really notice. I just rolled over and fell asleep after I got what I needed from her.
I should have respected her as an intelligent woman, instead I just assumed I was smarter than her.
Bound to happen sooner or later.

Yeah, that was the point of the second line. I"m sure there's a few other people here and there who feel like dumbasses right now. Several people over at the appleinsider forums even vowed to give themselves oral pleasure if the rumors were true. I was wrong too, sosume.
