I love reading Tom Yager - it's an excursion into a history free zone of bloviating. Here's Yager last year, predicting that Apple would never, ever move to the x86. Follow the link to a picture I took of the magazine article which says in part:
Might Apple sell an x86? I doubt it. Might Apple shrink-wrap OS X for PC systems? Who cares?
...
I’ll tell you my pet scenario: IBM leaked the details of the top-secret PowerPC 970MP processor to needle Apple into committing to a volume purchase. Apple doesn’t like to be jerked around, so it had a sit-down with Intel over cucumber sandwiches and chortled, “You must promise not to tell anybody about this.”
But hey, that was last year. The original story is a bit hard to find; it's been moved to June 1st (it was originally June 6th, then updated June 9th to remove the prediction, then moved back to June 1 with the original text - check the archive page, where the story has been moved around), he now says:
The applicability of the knowledge transferred at WWDC will be especially broad this year because Apple is set to turn a corner that I predicted: It is one step away from turning the Mac into the world’s first universal x86 platform.
As he predicted? In which universe? It's a fair point to make now, but stating "as I predicted" is a bit much.
