Apple Talking to Intel: Shocking news from Ziff Davis recently—Apple reportedly has been in talks with Intel about using their processors instead of or in addition to IBM processors. No doubt this news reflects Apple's needs to get the prices of their computers down if they hope to ever improve their market share from a minimalist 3 percent. Linux has been encroaching on this share, and with a change in the not so distant future at Microsoft, Apple may be seeing an opportunity to move into a larger share, especially now that the iPod has made such a big splash.
