It may take some time until the online news page fits into the new layout/design, but I'm working on it. after all it's rarely used anyway, and will only be important in July...I'm not saying anything more on that topic.

The Register reports that Apple might be planning to implementing UBS 2.0, IEEE 1394b, and DDR SDRAM technologies into the new Powermacs that will be released in January. This machine is also reported to be designed around the new PowerPC 8500 chip, aka the G5. However, word has it that the G4 Apollo chip is on standby just incase the G5 does not come through.
