News
Alert: 26 Mar: A reader
says Graphisoft has a hot new G4 running a Mac OS X build
of ArchiCAD 7 at CeBIT. We have been running Mac
OS X on a new Titanium PowerBook G4 and loving every minute
of it. Sure, there is lots to be done still on OS X, but you
are going to love what you can do with it now so much that
you will beg developers to finish their products for it. We
have a full series
of reports coming up during this week and next so stay
tuned ; )
On the
Megahertz front, Mac OS Rumors is reporting that 1
GHz G4 (7450's) are targeted for August. Read the full
report.
Also
in the report is news that IBM and Moto will team up on the
development of the G5 processor to address concerns that Moto
cannot keep up with the needs of the Mac platform.
Also
on Mac OS Rumors is a link to video footage of Apple's new
Palo Alto store under construction. The contractor is reportedly
Fisher Development
Inc., known for their work on Gap Stores. This is a top
notch construction firm folks! Good news for those hoping
Apple's retail chain would be cool. Now if we could just learn
who the architect is ; )
We will
strive to learn more about this in the coming weeks.
Well,
analysts are at it again, predicting mergers and acquisitions.
This time Apple
and Sun pair up! The full
report at Reuters. We also have a new hot web destination
for architects in our portal area below.
According
to
MacCentral Electric Image 3.0 will begin shipping by Monday
of next week if not today (Friday). And there is a much interesting
story on Guy
Kawasaki's use of a ThinkPad at a recent talk.
We have

for Gehry's Modena project. See the other stories below
in Industry News + Explorations.
In other
news recently, BusinessWEEK
says the TiBook, (aka; Titanium G4 PowerBook) will put
Apple back in the black!). We think so, we ordered ours last
week. Wired

court.
