BIO
Rob Myers is an artist and hacker based in the UK.
I have been creating images of the contemporary social and cultural environment through programming, design software and visual remixing since the early 1990s. My work is influenced by popular culture and high art in equal measures. My interest in remixing and sampling has led to my involvement in the Free Culture movement. I have been involved in the public consultation regarding the Creative Commons 2.0 and CC-UK licenses. All my visual art is available under a Creative Commons license.
My interest in programming has led to my involvement with the Free Software movement. I developed the Macintosh version of the Gwydion Dylan programming language compiler. All my software is available under the GNU GPL.

Re: Mac + Intel??
Macnn live report say it's true:
"Transition to Intel-based Macs. Developers Now. Next year for users.
"Because we want to make the best computers for our customers." No G5
PowerBook yet. Future products can't be build on IBM of PowerPC.
Intel has performance and better performance per watt. Intel delivers
much better performance per watt. Starting next year the first Macs
with Intel processors. Shipping by next WWDC. Mostly complete by 2007
WWDC. Complete by the end of 2007. Two-year transition."
