Snow Leopard and the disks offered during WWDC

A few weeks ago, Krazy Ken from the Computer Clan made a video about a beta version of Snow Leopard, provided to developers on two DVDs. The video is interesting, but one detail caught my attention.

Another prototype of an Apple Network Server, the Apple computer without Mac OS

This prototype is a bit old (it was seen in 2004), but it is interesting: it’s an Apple Network Server 300.

Les meilleures promotions du jour

Sur cette page, je vous mets les promotions du jour. Ce sont celles que je poste de temps en temps sur Twitter, et les liens sont sponsorisés, ce qui me permet d’acheter certains accessoires pour le site. Je mets des liens vers des promotions intéressantes, idéalement des produits que j’ai essayés ou que je connais bien, avec évidemment une orientation vers les nouvelles technologies.

A prototype of an Apple Network Server, the Apple computer without Mac OS

Seen on a website, a prototype of a rather unique Apple computer: an Apple Network Server. Even though it is technically quite similar to a Mac, it does not run Mac OS (or rather System, as the OS was not yet called Mac OS) but instead runs AIX, IBM’s UNIX for PowerPC.

A prototype motherboard for a Power Mac 7500

Seen on eBay, a prototype (EVT) motherboard for a Power Mac 7500.

Döner Kebab, a ZX Spectrum game on streaming services

Once again, here’s an EP that was supposed to be released physically (as indicated in the YouTube video) but apparently wasn’t distributed that way. I’m talking about the Döner Kebab EP by the band Cobra Laser (yes, the same as that other ZX Spectrum program).

Another Apple Watch demonstration stand

Seen on eBay, a demonstration stand for the first Apple Watch. And this time, it’s (almost) complete, this time.

A ZX Spectrum program available for streaming

The case of this album (and this program) is a bit peculiar: I couldn’t find any information about the author. But the track PRINT 'Hola' from the album Parallax (by Z80) contains a small program for the ZX Spectrum.

A Tetris clone on a prototype iPod

Seen on Twitter (and YouTube, too), a video of a third-generation iPod with a very special game installed: Tetris (or rather, Stacker).

A bright white iPod 4G prototype

Seen on Twitter (but originally from eBay), a 4th-generation iPod prototype with a unique visual detail.

A ZX Spectrum program on a Cobra Laser EP… streaming-only

After Lightfire, available on streaming platforms, here comes the album ZX Spectrum, which also contains a program for… ZX Spectrum. Like the first one, it doesn’t seem to have been released physically.
