Insanely, less than three months after a majorish (in terms of screen resolution) upgrade to the PowerBook, usually a sign that not much is going to happen for a while, Apple drops this.
Not only do they drop this, but they've annihilated any foregoing utility of the PowerBook (in a display of remarkable hubris, these are still sold on the Apple site and promoted as "all-out performance") I bought right after the last announcement1. I've complained often about the performance penalty that PowerBook users suffer -- we pay as much as the users of the Quad-G5 for our machines (and yes, the information is on the table), but we get a fraction of the performance.
