MrA Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 no. the username is VideoEncoder, but the system's cpu usage is 1%.which is, well, impossible. 584728711[/snapback] Well, when I run PearPC and OS X is fully loaded, I get less than 1% CPU usage. If I can figure how to take a screenshot (in linux), I'll post one of 'top' showing my CPU usage with pearpc running idle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~clean Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 It Looks very fake to me, piccys look fake as hell. They all have the same scrollbar positions in every screenshot. eg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~clean Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 They've also used the same piccy in one piccy and used it in another screenshot Look at the possitin of the mouse in the two fotos, there in exsactly the same place. Im sure down to pixel. also the scroolbars are in the same place on the 1st piccy and the 3rd piccy ! and all the other piccys on the site, im very sure its all fake and using amodded ver of pear pc.

giantsnyy Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 i really don't understand this company. They're violating Apples EULA by: #1 Advertising that it is solely an OSX emulator #2 Selling it so in essence its opening itself up to a major lawsuit by apple... I'll just stick with my iBook for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just stick with my iBook for now. 584729716[/snapback] Actually they aren't violating Apples EULA cause they aren't "emulating" OSX, they are emulating PPC For them to violate apples EULA they would of actually had to agree to it in the first place. They do state the program does NOT come with OSX, you must buy OSX to install. Therefore there is no legal basis for apple to sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Post-It Note Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 I don't think they even bothered stealing PearPC. They just used a real mac and took screenshots, and photoshopped it on. You never actually see a video of the OS inside the program because it doesn't exist. This is one big scam to get people to test his video streaming java crap. IMO he should have his balls cut off.

PureEdit Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Then that's not even close..... :laugh: On the sidenote.... I thought you couldn't install 10.4 with G3 hardware :unsure: 584728534[/snapback] The WWDC build worked fine on G3s, hopefully the final does or I will have to get a new G5 or something.

MrA Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 from the picture, it doesn't look like the emulator would be "idle". 584729827[/snapback] It looks idle to me. It would be great to see the CPU load when it's playing a movie, or Quake 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrA Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 They've also used the same piccy in one piccy and used it in another screenshot[snip.] Look at the possitin of the mouse in the two fotos, there in exsactly the same place. Im sure down to pixel. 584729710[/snapback] Um, I think the first one is taken in fullscreen and the second in normal, windowed mode. That would easilly explain the two shots being exactly the same.

It would be great to see the CPU load when it's playing a movie, or Quake 3. 584730114[/snapback] look at the dock. see how some of the icons are magnified? for a computer that wouldn't have quartz extreme, magnifying those icons would take a lot of cpu cycles, more than that one little spike in the usage history (it'd be wider).

I thought you couldn't install 10.4 with G3 hardware :unsure: 584728534[/snapback] Not sure where you got that idea. 10.4 will install on a G3, so long as it has built in USB and FireWire.

efishta Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 WTF is that, a wired blog, but hosted on a tripod account? Wired magazine uses Tripod for hosting their blogs? stinks of illegitimacy. Anyways, a buncha crap, I still don't believe a word of it. I've never been to this site however, so I suppose it could be legit - I'm just saying... I won't believe it till there's an actual performance review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go back to my post around the middle of page 16 of this thread to get a direct link to that video. The last thing you see is the "Starting OS X" screen (the blue one with the white box in the middle with the silver Apple logo, from the installation CD).

Southern Patriot Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 look at the dock.? see how some of the icons are magnified?? for a computer that wouldn't have quartz extreme, magnifying those icons would take a lot of cpu cycles, more than that one little spike in the usage history (it'd be wider). 584730643[/snapback] Not if they were left that way for a moment after the mouse pointer was moved over it. The CPU would quickly drop back down. On my 7300 (which really isn't much faster than a decent P IV running PearPC, unfortunately), magnifying the icons on the Dock doesn't take much CPU at all, and it certainly doesn't have QE.
