About a year ago, before Apple released their new Intel macs, I made guess that windows and mac would become closer then ever, and that windows based apps, would be available for mac users, mainly “games”. I have stuck by it, and as the year has roled around, I figured I was right the whole time. Apple since that post has moved to Intel chips, released bootcamp, and now the talk about “Cider”. “Cider” is a

“…portability engine for Intel-based Macs, offering game developers and publishers the ability to deploy Windows-based games on new Macs quickly and easily, without the need for traditional arduous porting.”

It looks like I was right. Things are starting to slowly merge and close the gap. Don’t get me wrong though, Windows and Mac with never be the same.

So now for another prediction! With all the talk about next week and Apple’s WWDC 2006, I’m going to make my predictions as to what Apple will unleash.

1) Power Mac will be replaced by a new Intel Xeon Processor, and a availble Intel Core Duo processor.

2) Mac OS X 10.5 (of course) but here are the features im guess at will be added.

a) tabbed browsing inside Finder.

b) new iChat features (possible to sync to iPod)

3) New…..er MacBook and MacBook Pro.

I’m betting some updates to some of things they have been having issues with, and maybe a new processor.

4) New iPod!

a) Wifi, Bluetooth capabilities

b) ya, it will be a phone. (thats my guess anyways)

5) New iPod Nano colors. This is probelly my only guess that I don’t really think will happen, but it could.

Anyways, I just had to go and make some predictions because everyone else is. I can’t wait to get this next week over with so I can sell my PC and by my MacBook, that is, if they release a new…er MacBook.
