Heh. Apparently eBay knows something about the mythical PowerBook G5 that the rest of us don’t. Take a look at this ad that Google Ads attached to Engadget’s RSS feed:
Update: The Inquirer has a few more details on the PowerBook G4 update front. They’re pointing fingers at the Freescale MPC8641, the single-core version of Freescale (formerly Motorola’s chip division)’s dual-core G4. The chip includes a RapidIO FSB, on-chip network and PCI-E controllers, an on-chip dual-channel DDR2 controller. Other reports have suggested that Apple’s going to use Freescale’s 7448, which seems to be the same basic chip, only without the on-board memory controller, PCI-E, networking, or RapidIO, and with a 200 MHz FSB instead.
It goes without saying that I’d love to see the dual-channel MPC8641D in a PowerBook, but that’s probably asking way too much from Apple.

Via Lawrence Lessig’s blog: a DRM-protected US Consitution on Amazon for $2.99. It’ll generously allow you to print two copies per year.
On a similar theme, Dan Gillmor had a pointer to the Constitution, as interpreted by Bush.

You know, this error message might just make it worth it to go through the incredible hassle required to install Kerberos.

Even wonder who has the Washington personalized license plate with Microsoft’s stock symbol? I saw it this morning on my drive to work. I’m willing to bet it’s not a Microsoft manager–the plate is attached to a mid-90s burgundy-colored Geo Metro, in need of a bit of body work.
