That's such a big disappointment. I was planning on ordering a 12" Powerbook this week, but if it's still the same as it was 9 months ago there is no way i'm paying that much for something that old.

i'll just wait until it dies down a bit. i enjoyed watching it. :)
i was wondering about the powerbook too, with all the annoucements that came out the powerbook improvements sure got shoved to the side

I was also disappointed that there weren't any news on powerbook updates. I found this article on ThinkSecret though.

I might wait for buying a new powerbook then. (Maybe when Tiger releases) :unsure:

can mac mini run tiger smoothly? :whistle:

It's not exactly known, although you would think that it would run it fine because, why release something if its not gonna work with something that'll come out in the very near future.

We do know that Core Video will not be implemented into the Mac Mini unfortunately due to its Graphics Card limitations or something like that.

Or maybe not lol.

We'll have to find out soon enough. I'm thinking Tiger will be announced sometime around WWDC 2005...although that may be a little late.

sure it will, I have tried Tiger on a iMac G4 that was 800Mhz and had a GeForce2 MX and it run just fine, keep in mind the GFX card and processor in the Mac mini are much more powerfull.

Why does Mac Mini only have 32MB RAM? Isn't that consider slow?

Thats Video RAM. The amount of RAM is less important than the graphics processor; a 64 meg integrated solution would be worse than the 32 meg Radeon 9200 in this, as there is no dedicated GPU in the first case.

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
