I am sure this move has everything to do with the iPod Nano lawsuit

This morning around 2am, my Apple Powerbook decided to ruin my day, after about 2 years of being a good boy. Granted the 3 hr downtime was my own doing, (most time spent looking for discs) I said to myself this is a sign ... time for a new PowerBook.
Just my luck, Apple is hawking updated PowerBooks. The new models offer crisp new displays that expand your view. Longer battery life to fuel your work (or play). A DVD-burning SuperDrive on every system. The PowerBook G4 packs loads of pro features in a slim enclosure with a slim new price. Systems start at $1499.

Control your iPod from afar. Play, pause, control volume and skip forward and back between songs from across the room with the Apple Remote.
Apple Remote with iPod
If you connect your iPod to a home stereo, powered speakers or TV set, the Apple Remote lets you experience your songs, slideshows and more from across the room. Just plug your iPod into the Universal Dock and choose a playlist, slideshow or video. Then, sit back, relax and enjoy. Ready to move on to the next song? No need to get up from your sofa--just press the forward button on the Apple Remote. Phone ringing? Just click pause, then pick up where you left off.
The Apple Remote offers play/pause, volume control and forward/back buttons.
The Apple Remote requires the iPod Universal Dock and any iPod with a Dock connector.
Apple Remote with Mac
Included with the new iMac G5, the Apple Remote gives you total command of your music, photos, videos and DVDs from anywhere in the room. It combines with Front Row -- a menu-driven, full-screen interface -- to make accessing your iMac's digital bounty from any seat in the room as simple as navigating your iPod. When you click the Apple Remote's Menu button, your desktop fades and Front Row's sleek interface takes its place to give you control over your music in iTunes, your photos in iPhoto, the videos in your Movies folder and whatever DVDs you want to play. Turn up the volume. Shuffle. Skip to the next chapter on your DVD. Play a slideshow, a home movie you made in iMovie, even a movie trailer. Just sit back and enjoy the show.

HardMac (en) has posted screenshots of what may or may not show a demonstration of an unreleased Quad Processor Intel-based PowerMac with Hyperthreading support. Errr . OK
If you ask me the screenshots look doctured - but here goes.
Without giving much details, those captures shows MacOSX x86 running on a 4 physical CPU-based MacIntel with Hyperthreading enable. One can clearly see 4 physical processors recognized while 8 logical processors are recorded by the CPU monitor. So MacOSX can really manage without problem any MacIntel based on either physical or logical processors.
