FTP client, Fetch, hits version 4.0.2
Fetch v4.0.2. - Fetch is a fully scriptable and recordable FTP client which features a thorough Apple Event Object Model along with support for the Anarchie and GetURL suites of Apple Events. This version includes dozens of bug fixes and new features. [AppleScript Info]
I am still not sure why Apple isn't bundling an FTP client with OS X, but until that happens Fetch is one of the long-standing Mac FTP clients that can do the work for you...

Chimera bumped to version 0.2.6
A new version of the Chimera Web browser is showing more progress in the development of a browser designed from the bottom up for OS X. Chimera 0.2.6 adds access to more of your browser preferences and the ability to import your bookmarks from other Web browsers including Internet Explorer and OmniWeb.One note if you are going to go download this release: I had problems grabbing the download with both Chimera itself and with Mozilla 1.0rc1 - the download displayed to the browser screen rather than going straight to disk.

Apple unveils new PowerBook, and the new eMac
Rumors of a new PowerBook were right on the money, but no one was predicting the new eMac - an iMac-like machine designed especially for the education market with an all-in-one shape like the old iMacs and a 17-inch display. The eMac will only be sold to educators, with a low-end machine selling at $999 and a second model with CD burning and DVD playback capabilities for $1,199.For those of us who aren't teachers, the upgraded Titanium PowerBook G4 will be the highlight of today's announcements. The new machine has a higher-resolution LCD display running with a 1280 x 854 resolution, as well as a new Digital Video Output port that allows easy connection of the current Apple flat-panel displays. A new graphics chip, the ATI Mobility Radeon 7500, with its on chip 32 MB of SDRAM drives all the improved video capabilities. Apple also ships a DVI-to-VGA connector with the new Ti-Book to make it easy to connect to VGA monitors. The Ti-Book starts at $2499 with a 667 MHz G4, 256 MB SDRAM and a 30GB Ultra ATA hard drive. The middle-of-the-road option runs $3199 for a model with an 800 MHz G4, 512MB SDRAM and a 40GB Ultra ATA drive, and the high-end model costs $3799 for an 800 MHz G4, 1GB SDRAM and a 60GB Ultra ATA drive.
