It all depends. Apple could always switch back. Especially in this
day where Apple's design decisions seem to be based off whoever has
the cheapest product or whoever has least humiliated Steve Jobs.
Intel may just be temporary as they already got Jobs to publicly
state part of the switch was due to supply issues and the Yonah
(Intel Core) chips are already having supply problems with major PC
OEMs.
Some have even *speculated* that the reason more ICBM models weren't
introduced at MWSF was due to a very low supply of Yonah chips.
However, I'd take this with a grain of salt.
Either way, as of the Intel switch, you can't expect or speculate any
kind of action Apple may or may not do in the future.

I know this was discussed at least to some extent a while back, but I don't
recall that there was ever a definitive answer. With little endian machines
being the future of the Mac, doesn't it make more sense to design new,
proprietary file formats to use little endian instead of big?
