Ars Technica has a roundup of the 10,000 pound stampeding elephant of a rumor that is currently trampling through Mac world. Short coded summary: The long awaited G5 might be an IBM produced son-of-Power4.

If this is true. And if the chip is as mighty as it might be. And if it could be ready to ship before next year. And if pigs fly. This will be a really really good thing for Apple.

The rumor boards are buzzing.

One day a government worker knocks on the door of a rancher in eastern Montana. He introduces himself and goes on to explain that a recent survey of the area has shown that it is not in Montana after all. The rancher's house is actually in South Dakota. On hearing this the rancher replies "Thank god! I don't think I could have taken another one of those Montana winters."

Yeah, I know. Anyway, I am shocked, shocked to learn that our friend's house on Long Island is NOT IN SAYVILLE. Can you believe it? Apparently it's in Bayport. I'm not sure what to do about this. It's not that I care where the house is. It's just that we've always called it Sayville. Can we really switch to Bayport?

"What did you do this weekend?"

"Oh, we were out in Sayvi... er, Bayport."

"Bayport? Who lives there?"

"Oh forget it."

Maybe we can resurvey the area or something.

Made the late night getaway after Tony got off work last night. MB came and plucked me from Tonic, and after we got past the construction on the Kosciusko bridge it was clear sailing out to Sayville. About an hour and ten minutes. I wouldn't have made it so far through the summer without this house. Nice to have well appointed friends. Beautiful day out here. Waiting on the fish sandwiches. You all have my permission not to work too hard today. Tell your boss to call me if there's a problem with that.
