Apple Announces the Fate of Shake

Rura Penthe writes "NothingReal, developer of Shake (a high-end video compositing application), was purchased by Apple in February. Until now the fate of Shake on Windows, Irix, and Linux was uncertain at best, but in an email sent out to Shake users, Apple has declared that Irix and Linux versions will be developed at least through 2003. However, the upcoming Windows version will be the last for that platform. Good news for Shake users with Linux render farms like Weta Digital, which used Shake for Lord of the Rings."

    They did some good things with that in Lord of the Rings. Nice to see Apple continue to keep it out atleast for a while longer.

    On a side note.... does Slashdot think Apple users are to dumb to find the Apple section themself and have to put a comment about going there on every post about Apple?!

    "u r stupid.

    Diablo2 has sold more copies for PC than there are X-Boxen in existance.

    Halo for PC would most likely sell as many copies as RTCW, which is > 1,000,000"


    I'm stupid? Okay, let's talk about your post for a sec:

    1.) Diablo 2 is a rare cirumstance. It's a AAA title made by a highly regarded company, Blizzard. A 'successful game' on the PC is defined by selling 500,000 copies. (at least that was what a publisher told me back in 97, that info may be different today, but I doubt it.) Most games don't go that high in terms of sales at all.

    2.)Halo could potentially hit the 1 million mark on the PC. I doubt it, but it's possible. With the XBOX, though, we're talking like 5 million copies at LEAST. Console games have a much higher chance of selling at least a million copies. Square did it routinely with it's Final Fantasy series.

    3.) If you had read what I said, you'd notice that I said Halo would continue to sell as long as XBOXes are being sold. So your argument that Diablo 2 sold more copies than XBOX's in existance really doesn't hold a whole lot of water. You could have saved yourself that embarrasment if you had just paid a little more attention about what I said.

    4.) Did you catch the part where Bungie said they're still planning to release a PC and Mac version? Okay, so it's later, but virtually no harm done.

    Am I really that stupid? Of course my attitude is biased, but my idea looks a lot clearer than yours does.

    The thing about crack is that the way it's prepared, smoking it delivers all of the cocaine effects in one fell swoop of a rush--crack users describe their first time as being the most intensely pleasurable experience possible. However, the high only lasts for a very short while, which makes crackheads pretty strung out until they get some more.

    So calling someone a crackhead is to comment on their being either 1) completely and utterly out of their mind 2) in a strung-out stupor.

    Hope this helps!
