Last I checked we still all need PERMISSION to travel to certain countries of the GOV's choosing.
Currently I think its only Cuba but who is to say that there could not be more.
Is it truly freedom when I have to ask my government permission to travel to another country?
There are already borderline heat issues with the G4 now so unless the faster G4's and e600's address this issue, they are at a stadstill and the monster G5 won't be in the Powerbook line anytime soon. Speed is all relative to what your using the computer for, there was a recent slashdotted OS X Server test which suffered incredibly compared to Intel. Regardless, notebook CPU options for Apple are much wider on the Intel side vs. IBM
Jobs has no choice but to do this because the most critical issue being the PowerBook line is frozen in terms of upgrades.
IBM won't produce a cooler faster CPU at least from what I hear and you can be sure Jobs tried everything to encourage IBM, given the effort involved maybe IBM just walked away from the business?
Already IBM has lost the Ghz race to Intel, OS X is gonna smoke on a Intel 3.2Ghz box !!

Dude, are you stoned? Dells are at $499 with way more than what you listed. The clone days are over.
