Pardon my ignorance, what is a binary if it isn't universal?

Because OS X runs on PowerPC and Intel chips a program would actually need two different binaries to run on them

Thanks for the explanation. So am I understanding correctly that 'binary' no longer refers to a number base but is now shorthand for binary instruction code which we used to call, without ambiguity, 'machine code'?
