Yeah, it's possible to compile the same code for both platforms, but you have to understand that it must be a lot harder to optimize :

Sometimes they will have to write something like :

if ( platform = powerpc ) {

optimize.for.power.pc();

} else {

optimize.for.intel();

}

and the rest of the code should be common between both intel and ppc.

I don't think they'll drop PPC--G5s were still sold in 2006. The Cocoa bits are interesting though and should be something to look forward to.

Keep in mind most PPC Macs, including G5, will be out of warranty support around 2009, once this happens Apple will be considerably more likely to phase them out of the OS Rotation in favor of dedicating coding resources to the modern Intel Platform systems.

People complained with Leopard didn't support the 800 and under PPC crowd, it was the first step to terminating support for PPC entirely.

Looks shopped. Where's the more info button? Start up disk? Software Update?

Honestly, it came from a friend on a Software Team so I have NO doubt it's edited. ;)

Probably something thrown together with Interface Editor, the logo didn't change either, at least he got the fonts right though, the last faker I got from him didn't even use Apple Fonts. ;)

I posted it to give some humor to all the 10.6 posts, who knows, it could be real from a early Dev copy but I doubt it. ;)

My guess those new icons are the new apps that are going to be comming to the iphone and ipod touch next week.

Is both the iphone and ipod touch based on a mobile verson of mac OSX?

Yes. The iPhone has been using a mobile OS X version right from the start.

People on Mac Rumors are convinced that the Macbook Air looking device in the big banner isn't an Air but the new design of the MacBook Pro.... various comparisons on size, etc. The more I look at it, the more I just think bad perspective and squashed pictures is to blame..

But still. More fuel for the rumor mill!

yeah and if that "macbook air" pic is really the new macbook pro then they did it right. try to test us or tease us

someone needs to give the photographer a tripod or new steady hands because all of those pictures are blurry, except the very first.

I dont think he was even aloud to take pictures. so thats why they were blurry. he took them fast with the flash off so no one will see him with a camera.

    • This is a none story - these low volume Chinese models will always get new experimental features first because Apple and Samsung can't produce them in huge volume to meet demand.
    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for Dark Scrolls, Empulse, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final update of June for Nvidia's cloud gaming service GeForce NOW is now available, and it is touting support for six more games. The company is also drawing subscriber attention towards the summer sales kicking off across stores, so they can stock up on more cloud-supported titles. Of course, the Steam Summer Sale is the biggest promotion, which is kicking off later today. "Supported Steam games can be streamed across devices with GeForce NOW, making it easy to buy a game once, keep progress synced and pick up where the gameplay left off on PCs, Macs, handheld devices, phones, TVs and more," says the company. "In other words, the Steam Summer Sale brings the deals; GeForce NOW adds the flexibility." Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active as well. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Dark Scrolls (New release on Steam, available June 22) SAND: Raiders of Sophie (New release on Steam, available June 22) Deer & Boy (New release on Steam, available June 23) EMPULSE (New release on Steam, available June 24) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (Steam) FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (Steam) With the June expansions coming to an end, Nvidia should be announcing its July GeForce NOW plans next week. Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
