Mac gaming gets emotional

Avatar for 9to5 Staff May 21 2008

 The Mac is slowly evolving as a more serious platform for gamers, with the release of key game development software for OS X.

MysticGD today announced its realtime game animation middleware software, Emotion FX, is now officially available for the Mac. And it’s the growing marketshare for Apple computers that has driven the company to make the move, it confirmed this morning.

Emotion FX has been used in the development of a huge range of titles for multiple platforms, including Mythic Entertainment’s Warhammer Online; Tilted Mill’s SimCity Societies; and Sony’s Vanguard – Saga of Heroes.

 This is Part 1 of Aurora, a concept video created by Adaptive Path in partnership with Mozilla Labs that attempts to create a plausible vision of how technology, the browser, and the Web might evolve in the future by depicting that experience in a variety of real-world contexts.

Apple, Asus, netbooks on the mind

Avatar for 9to5 Staff Oct 16 2008

You got to admit it, one person you never want to take on in a Poker game would have to be Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, surely?

Think about it. 

This man is one of the most accomplished truth deflectors in the business – we’re not saying he doesn’t tell the truth, he does, he’s pretty much always honest, he’s just good, really, really good at saying truthful things which make listeners think they hear the opposite of what he says

Remember Steve Jobs on enabling video playback for iPods, when he was so often heard to say, “the iPod is for listening to music, it’s not designed for video.”

Mossberg: "Mac OSX is no longer much better than Windows"

Avatar for 9to5 Staff Oct 7 2009

Walt, who is usually a huge Mac fan, says Windows 7 is a worthy competitor to Apple’s OS X Snow Leopard:

In recent years, I, like many other reviewers, have argued that Apple’s Mac OS X operating system is much better than Windows. That’s no longer true. I still give the Mac OS a slight edge because it has a much easier and cheaper upgrade path; more built-in software programs; and far less vulnerability to viruses and other malicious software, which are overwhelmingly built to run on Windows.

AT&T rolling out much more 3G goodness. Guess which device stands to benefit?

Avatar for 9to5 Staff Feb 6 2008

Yeah the rest of the world is rolling their collective eyes because they’ve had 3G for like 35 years or something… but AT&T has just announced a major expansion of their 3G network in the US.  Their announcement  means AT&T will roll out an additional 1,500 cell sites in the U.S. this year adding 80 more cities – which will bring the total to 350 markets in the US – and all of the top 100 cities.   Just about ubiquitous enough for Apple to do some kind of 3G deal with AT&T, not just in iPhone, but also in iPod, and Mac laptops as well. 

We are still sticking to our Mayish prediction of iPhone3G rollout – about a year after the the original announcement.  Also, this is about the timewhen Japan, who’s networks aren’t compatible with EDGE, and the rest of Asia should start seeing the iPhone.  Also expect the EDGE iPhones to take two price cuts of $100 each before then.  One to eliminate the 8Gb iPhone in 1-2 months.  Another for when the 3G model comes out to clear the EDGE iPhone inventory.  Apple isn’t doing $200 price drops anymore.

As far as we know Apple is also sticking with their exclusivity agreement with AT&T and not going anywhere else.

The talking heads at AT&T have this to say about catching the US up to Europe and Asia’s networks (take it for what it is worth):
