Arstechnica has posted a great article on Intel's processors roadmap. This may help us to guess which processors Apple will use for its future Macs. By the way, AppleInsider guesses that the Powerbooks will be powered by Yonah, which is a dual-core low power chip. The site points out an article on Digitimes, claiming that Apple will use this processor for its Macs in 2006.

As noted on D. Hyatt's blog, Apple has announced that the Safari's frameworks, (WebKit, WebCore, JavaScriptCore) are now totally opened to developers through a dedicated web site.
