OK. Every once in a while, it's nice to have a healthy dose of the bashing of analysts who think that Apple's going down the tubes, if you know what I mean.
And this one is particularly good:

I'll entice you with this one little paragraph, that had me hysterically laughing when I read the last sentence:
"Now, does anyone who actually uses Macs for a living seriously think that things are going to be any easier or better if Macs were using Intel processors, even from a marketing standpoint? Last time I checked, Intel's ubiquitous television ads don't actually specify which computers use them. It's all about brand identity. The only upside I can see to such a move is that we'd finally have Blue Man Group pushing something related to Mac hardware, on which they already depend backstage. Well, I'd prefer Blue Man Group to those big-eyed grey aliens who start disco-dancing every time a Pentium 4 chip is dropped into one of their anal probe devices."
