'Gone' is a VR thriller from 'Walking Dead' team and Samsung
While playing games and watching 360-degree videos in virtual reality is fun, the medium is so powerfully immersive that it seems to beg for something more compelling; something that goes beyond just VR versions of existing content. That's the idea behind Gone, a recent collaboration between Samsung and Skybound Entertainment -- the production company behind the Walking Dead TV series -- that's described as a serialized virtual reality thriller. After a glimpse at the first episode and a chat with a few people behind the scenes of the project, I can say that it's a piece of content that is absolutely unique to VR, making me more intrigued than ever at VR's narrative possibilities.
Has the 12" PowerBook simply disappeared?
It appears as though Apple has completed their portable lineup's transition to Intel chips - and the 12" PowerBook was the clear odd-man-out (sure, the 14" iBook disappeared too, but everyone knew it had to). I noticed last night that apple.com/powerbook simply redirects to apple.com/macbook, with a page title of "Meet the family. Now complete."If this is true, and Apple (for now) doesn't have any other tricks up their sleeve in the portable department (the much-rumored tablet, perhaps?), I think we should all observe a moment of silence for our fallen comrade - the 12" PowerBook (my first.Mac.evar).
