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.

For you guys who cant get the webcast to work, keep trying, its well worth your trouble(i just finished watching it). I'm going to get iWork for sure and maybe iLife '05, Pages looks amazing.

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.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
