Well at college for example we have a lot of computers that don't have the GPU to handle Core Image. But thus far they upgraded them all to Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and they probably will to Mac OS X Leopard as well. Would be interesting to see if they can pull it off. :p

Well, Core Image will run on just about anything, and effects it cant run it hardware are marked as such, so written well a Core Image app will run normally anywhere somebody tries to run it (by well written, i mean not assuming the hardware can handle an effect, and if so not using it, look at Dashboard for an example of that).

I wonder if Apple will release any hardware that are "Leopard capable?"

Since Leopard isn't coming out till October if you are in no hurry why would you buy hardware now that may or may not work with Leopard. I remember when I purchased my G4 Mac Mini, in 1.5 months later they released Tiger and change the specifications to the Mac Mini. Now my G4 Mac Mini uses Tiger but I don't have all of the features.

So it would suck that all hardware sold by Apple now would be incapable of using the full utilization of Leopard. Especially if they are switching to ZFS or whatever it's called. Can Tiger convert to ZFS? Guess we have to wait and see in another 24 hours or so.

Can't wait for tomorrow!

It's safe to say that all Intel Macs will be 100% Mac OS X Leopard capable. Unless Apple decides to go 64-bit only that is.

There is ONE feature of Tiger that your Mac mini isn't capable of using, Core Image. Very few things take advantage of it, so you really aren't missing anything.

Yea, thanks I knew it was something. I know it is a small thing but still a feature that is missing. And from my understanding Leopard would be more animation "intense" so I haven't upgraded yet to the Intel Macs.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
    • Turbo Pascal was my first real programming experience more than 30 years ago at university. I mostly taught myself from the included examples and help documentation, because the university only taught the basic syntax and philosophy of Pascal, without going deeply into Turbo Pascal’s advanced features. I still remember when I discovered that I could embed assembly language directly into Pascal code, call BIOS functions, manipulate screen memory, use mouse interrupts, and control peripherals from my programs. That opened huge doors for me. Programming back then felt really fun, direct, and close to the machine. What I loved about Pascal was its readability and the almost instant compile time. Turbo Pascal was an amazing environment, but unfortunately Turbo Pascal for Windows 3 did not feel like it fully carried that legacy forward. Later, Delphi got things back on the right track after the messy transition to TP for Windows. Sadly, Delphi suffered from years of uncertainty as it moved from Borland to CodeGear and then to Embarcadero. That instability made many developers lose confidence in it, even though Delphi itself remained a powerful and productive tool. I still work with Delphi from time to time, but I definitely miss the old days of Turbo Pascal.
    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
