This is a running commentary that was posted live during Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs' keynote speech at Macworld on Jan. 10, 2006.

Jobs unveiled the first Intel-based Mac, an updated iMac. The machine will come in the same sizes as its Power PC-based predecessor and will cost the same, but Jobs said it will be two to three times faster because it uses Intel's dual-core Duo chip.

Jobs moved on to discuss the transition to Intel chips.

"We announced that by June of this year, we would be shipping Intel-based Macs."

Then Intel CEO Paul Otellini came onstage in a bunny suit. "Steve, I want to report that Intel is ready," Otellini said, handing over a silicon wafer.

"Well, I can report to you that Apple is ready, too," Jobs said.
