Amaya Toman Ma ka ʻāpana o kā mākou moʻolelo o Apple i kēia lā, e hoʻomanaʻo mākou i kahi kamepiula, ʻoiai hiki iā ia ke kaena i kahi hiʻohiʻona kūʻokoʻa maoli, akā naʻe, ʻaʻole i loaʻa ka lanakila nui ma waena o nā mea hoʻohana. ʻAʻole i loaʻa i ka Power Mac G4 Cube nā kūʻai i manaʻo mua ʻia e Apple, a no laila ua hoʻopau ka hui i kāna hana i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o Iulai 2001.
Hiki paha hoihoi oe
Loaʻa iā Apple kahi laina paʻa o nā kamepiula e poina ʻia no nā kumu like ʻole. Hoʻokomo pū lākou i ka Power Mac G4 Cube, ka "cube" kaulana i hoʻopau ʻia e Apple ma Iulai 3, 2001. ʻO ka Power Mac G4 Cube he mīkini maoli a hoihoi loa i ka hoʻolālā ʻana, akā he mea hoʻohaʻahaʻa i nā ʻano he nui. Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo Apple ka hapa nui loa mai ka hoʻi ʻana mai o Steve Jobs. ʻOiai ua haʻalele ʻo Apple i ka puka no kahi hanauna e hiki mai ana i ka wā e hoʻopau ai i ka hana ʻana o kāna Power Mac G4 Cube, ʻaʻole i hiki mai kēia manaʻo, a ua manaʻo ʻia ka Mac mini ka mea pani pololei i ka Apple Cube. I ka manawa o kona hōʻea ʻana, ʻo ka Power Mac G4 Cube kekahi o nā hōʻailona o ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke ala a Apple i makemake ai e lawe. Ma hope o ka hoʻi ʻana o Steve Jobs i ke poʻo o ka hui, ua hauʻoli nui ka iMacs G3 ʻulaʻula me ka iBooks G3 i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, a ua hoʻomaopopo ʻo Apple ʻaʻole wale me ka hoʻolālā ʻana o kāna mau kamepiula hou i manaʻo ʻia e. hoʻokaʻawale loa iā ia iho mai ka hāʻawi ʻana i noho aliʻi i ka mākeke me ka ʻenehana kamepiula.
Ua komo ʻo Jony Ive i ka hoʻolālā ʻana o ka Power Mac G4 Cube, ʻo ke kākoʻo nui o ke ʻano o kēia kamepiula ʻo Steve Jobs, ka mea i hoihoi mau ʻia e nā cubes, a nāna i hoʻāʻo i kēia mau ʻano i kona manawa ma NeXT. He mea hiki ʻole ke hōʻole i ka hiʻohiʻona kupaianaha o ka Power Mac G4 Cube. He cube ia, mahalo i ka hui pū ʻana o nā mea, hāʻawi i ka manaʻo e lele ana i loko o kāna chassis plastic transparent. Mahalo i kahi ala hoʻoluʻu kūikawā, ua kaena pū ka Power Mac G4 Cube i ka hana mālie. Ua hoʻolako ʻia ke kamepiula me kahi pihi paʻi no ka hoʻopau ʻana, ʻoiai ʻo kona ʻaoʻao haʻahaʻa e hiki ai ke komo i nā ʻāpana o loko. Ua hoʻolako ʻia ka ʻaoʻao o luna o ke kamepiula me kahi lima no ka maʻalahi o ka lawe ʻana. ʻO ke kumukūʻai o ke kumu hoʻohālike, i hoʻopili ʻia me kahi kaʻina hana 450 MHz G4, 64MB o ka hoʻomanaʻo a me 20GB o ka waiho ʻana, he $1799; ua loaʻa pū kekahi ʻano ʻoi aku ka ikaika me ka mana hoʻomanaʻo kiʻekiʻe ma ka Apple Store pūnaewele. Hele mai ka lolouila me ka nānā ʻole.

ʻOiai nā manaʻo o Apple, ua hoʻokō ka Power Mac G4 Cube i ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana i kahi liʻiliʻi wale nō o nā mea pā Apple paʻakikī, ʻaʻole loa i hopu ʻia i waena o nā mea hoʻohana. Ua hauʻoli nui ʻo Steve Jobs i kēia kamepiula, akā ua kūʻai aku ka hui ma kahi o 150 tausani mau ʻāpana, ʻo ia ka hapakolu o ka nui i manaʻo ʻia. Mahalo i kona hiʻohiʻona, ka mea i hōʻoiaʻiʻo i ka hana o ka kamepiula i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni Hollywood, ʻo ka Power Mac G4 naʻe i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i loko o ka manaʻo o nā mea hoʻohana. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻaʻole i pale ka Power Mac G4 Cube i kekahi mau pilikia - ua hoʻopiʻi nā mea hoʻohana i kēia kamepiula, no ka laʻana, e pili ana i nā māwae liʻiliʻi i ʻike ʻia ma ka chassis plastic. I ka ʻike ʻana o ka hoʻokele o ka hui ʻaʻole i hui maoli ka Power Mac G4 Cube me ka kūleʻa i manaʻo ʻia, ua hoʻolaha lākou i ka hopena hope o kāna hana ʻana ma o kahi leka uila. "Aloha nā mea nona Mac i kā lākou Mac, akā koho ka hapa nui o nā mea hoʻohana e kūʻai i kā mākou mau hale kiaʻi Power Mac G4 mini." a laila-poʻo o ke kūʻai aku ʻo Phil Schiller i ʻōlelo ʻia ma kahi ʻōlelo paʻi. Ua ʻae ʻo Apple ma hope he liʻiliʻi loa ka manawa o kahi kumu hoʻohālike i hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia i ka wā e hiki mai ana, a ua kau ʻia ka cube ma luna o ka hau no ka maikaʻi.
Hoʻokahi hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi ʻole o ka cube: ʻo ka hopena i kapa ʻia ʻo chimney effect (ʻaʻohe peʻa o ka cube), ʻo Apple i kaena ai no ka cube i kēlā manawa, ʻaʻole lawa, no laila ʻaʻole ia i hōʻoluʻolu i ka processor.
