What the new PowerBooks have introduced, Safe Sleep (also known as Hibernate on other platforms) is available to many other Macs as well. Save Sleep lets you save your current session to the harddisk and shut down your Mac into a sleep that takes as little energy as possible. To do it you need the latest OS X, 10.4.3 and some good nerves:
Warning: Enabling Safe Sleep is essentially a hack. It is very likely to work on recent Macs, but enabling Safe Sleep may cause your Mac to explode, implode, melt, freeze, have a heart-attack, or develop an inguinal hernia.
Nah seriously, it’s really an awesome hack, but nothing for Mac users without previous Terminal experience.
