GameCube
Shacknews
notes that while the Xbox failed to impress the masses at E3 (which doesn't surprise me, we all know how a PC works and plays games, and the Xbox is just that, with a few features cut out even), the Nintendo GameCube found a lot of fans and will ship with a pricetag of only 200$, that's about 100$ less than the competition's offerings, according to Shacknews.

Motorola releases PPC 7440
the register
reports that Motorola has finished development of a low-power version of the PPC 7450 G4+ chip, running with less core voltage and without L3 cache support, thus reducing the heat dissipation and power consumption. This should pave the way for 7440 based PowerBooks.

WWDC news
the register
notes that Steve Jobs said at WWDC yesterday that all Macs are now going to be equipped with Mac OS X, but Mac OS 9 remains the standard for now. Aparently a boot selector software enables you to choose which OS you'd like to boot. Certainly a good idea to introduce Mac OS X for the masses. Work with Mac OS 9 and play with Mac OS X in the evening.

OS X too slow
the register
reports what both Steve Jobs and Avi Tevanian had to say about users concerns about the lack of speed under Mac OS X, namely the Mac OS X Finder sucking duck. Good to hear they're working on those issues. I hope my new Mac around Xmas will sport a fast and responsive OS and UI.
