Update #29 - More new stuff & a personal request
August 15th 2021
|
A little bit for everyone's taste: Our new Nature & Travels category now has a Quicktime VR of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., the Apple category has a new video with impressions from the MacWorld Expo '97 in Tokyo and there are new-old gameplay movies for Skullcracker, Myth - The Fallen Lords, Eat my Photons and the Choicestick adapter in our games section.
Dronecatcher uploaded an extensive archive of Cold War era public information films to Cornica, which were created by the British government to inform its citizens on the right behavior in case of a Soviet nuclear strike ...
On a personal note, hot summer is here in central Europe with temps rising inside and outside. The Power Mac G4 MDD used to create Cornica and its videos starts to wheeze and since I like my beef roasted, not my G4, I'll probably take two weeks of vacation before the next update.
That said, does anyone have a copper heatsink for a Power Mac G4 MDD that he'd be willing to part with? Please drop me a line if you do.

Update #28- We're expanding!
August 11th 2021
|
Say "Hi!" to our new Nature & Travel category. It had been some time in the making and my excuses to the loyal folks who uploaded videos and had to patiently wait until I finally got it going. (sorry Dronecatcher & adrianrmarsh!)
Well, now it's here! What to expect? Quicktime videos that will take you from your desk to places on our planet. Remember how jaw-dropping the experience was the first time you saw a Quicktime 360° VR video of a location? Yeah, right - life in Cyberspace was just around the corner ...
Enjoy the new category, don't forget to upload your stuff should you have something to share and let us know what you think of the category (or yet missing ones!) in our guestbook.

Update #27 - Grab the Mic!
August 8th 2021
|
You know Quicktime movies. You know Quicktime VR? Sure! Know that Quicktime was good for (small) games as well? Yeah. So what have we been missing? Yeah - Quicktime Karaoke!
We're starting with four Quicktime Karaoke songs in our music category. No idea how much interest is there but if there is any, we may likely add some more. For now, enjoy singing YMCA in front of your obsolete* Macintosh.

Update #25 - Fun for the weekend
July 16th 2021
|
The weekend is up ahead and Cornica got yet another update. Starting with this one, I'm going to release more frequent news of changes & additions. And as you can see by this update's headline, we're starting with some additions to our fun & comedy category.
Thanks to z970's upload, we've added three videos of Will Ferrell's Apple switch campaign. He also supplies us with an excerpt from a Saturday Night Live episode mocking Steve Jobs and the iPod product cycles from the mid 2000s. Another added Saturday Night Live video from 1993 makes fun of Apple for what was perceived the useless Newton.
And then our top uploader Katie Cadet shared a truly historic music video with us, Pipe Dream from 2001.
Whereever you are - everyone have a nice weekend!

Update #24 - Summer is here, again
July 12th 2021
|
So, it has been five weeks after the last update - time to send a life sign! As long-time Cornica users know, summer is the time things tend to slow down a bit here. Being a family dad, I enjoy spending time outside with my kids instead of sweating in an overheated computer room. So we're not gone, but rather regenerating energy for an autumn of Quicktime'ness!
The past months saw some more gaps closed in Cornica's video archive. We've added content from a 90's interview with Jazz musician Herbie Hancock to our music section as well as some new music videos. Our Amiga category saw some interesting new additions too. Even as a long-time Mac addict I have to admit it had some amazing capabilities for the late 80's!
Meanwhile Cornica uploader Katie Cadet supplied us with a trailer for a rather less known indie crime comedy movie. Oh and in case you love Apple's mid 2000s computer design, we've also added two QuickTime VRs on the Mac Mini and eMac for your viewing pleasure.
There's even more new uploads, but it feels boring to just throw a list at you in this post. Or should we list all recent additions here? Let me know what you think.
