It isn't really an oxymoron when you think about it. Most anthropologists consider anything that falls in the genus Homo a human. This includes H. habilis, H. rudolfensis, H. erectus [ergaster], H. heidelbergensis, H. neanderthalensis, and H. sapiens.
H. sapiens and its subspecifics are obviously modern humans. The newly named specimen H. s. idaltu is modern and our subspecies, H. s. sapiens, the subspecies that spread all over the globe, is what we call an anatomically modern human.
I don't know about phasing out the G3 iBooks. I'm sure it will happen, but my bets are on later rather than sooner. IBM is said to be working on an AltiVec-enabled G3 processor. However, Apple might just call it a G4 _because_ it has AltiVec.
Mac users remember all to well the number of applications that broke in the change from 10.1.x to 10.2. Wonder how long it'll take Quark to make QuarkXPress 6 work properly with Mac OS X 10.3, due out in a few months.
If Apple utilises IBM's PPC 970 like everyone thinks it will, then the next obvious evolution will be the PPC 980, scheduled for release mid-2004. It's based on POWER5 architecture and should reach speeds at around 4.5-5.0GHz. Then there's the 990, based on the POWER6, blah, blah, blah.
It could be a horse race in the next few years.
Apple is working with AMD on HyperX pci or some such
You're thinking of the HyperTransport Technology Consortium. AMD, API NetWorks, Apple, Cisco, NVIDIA, PMC-Sierra, Sun, and Transmeta formed it in 2001 I believe to further the development and adoption of the HyperTransport I/O Link specification.
...for California to simply enforce the ADV:-at-the-beginning-of-the-subject-line law rather than create a whole slew of new spam laws? If the state did this, then users could just create mail rules to send those ADV: messages straight to the trash. Voila! No spam in your inbox.

Apple insider? You can't get much more outside than board member Millard Drexler, the chairman and CEO of J. Crew.
