That's hilarious ... if you're a nerd
CNet reports that Apple's share price closed yesterday at $80.86. This is sort of a coincidental joke. Yesterday was the day that Apple unveiled its new Intel-powered Macs, and "8086" was the internal number given to Intel's first major consumer processor back in 1978. (For this reason, Intel processors that follow in this line of architecture are called "x86" -- 80286, 80386, 80486, and the 80586, which was called the "Pentium.")
Just something that's slightly hilarious. If you're a nerd.
