According to this article the newest generation of game consoles is about to be released by Nintendo and is apparently ‘Mac based’… I think because the video controller is ATI and the CPU is PowerPC it would only make sense to use a low level MacOS to get it booting and rendering. All in all good news for the Mac gaming community.
Stever Ballmer is nervous. Or at least that’s what he told the audience at Comdex Canada during his ill-fated keynote address. Apparently, he fumbled through demo after demo, and compared the future of the internet to a hockey stick, apparently trying to get the kanucks to like him. What a goofball.
You can try to view the keynote here, but don’t even try if you’re on a Mac. It’s in Windows Media Player format. Surprise sur-fucking-prise.
According to this article, Emachines stock prices are falling due to a profits warning of a loss of 30 to 33 cents a share.
The reason? “The drop in the demand has coincided with concerns about interest rates, the state of the economy and the growing instability of the public securities markets.”
That, and they make shitty computers.
Due to some extraordinary amount of luck, we here at Alternate.org have gotten our greasy mitts on a copy of Mac OS X Developer Preview 4, and will be posting a review soon.
If you use a Windows machine with Outlook for anything remotely important, don’t even check your email for the next few days. Here’s why.
My advice? Buy a Mac.
This article is really funny.
Apparently, there are certain people who feel that they have to upgrade their Apple Color Classics to G3s. You can even pay $2500 to have an iMac put in one.
So it’s an iMac with a 10″ monitor? Great. That’s just what I need.

This ad is the funniest shit I have seen in years. The ad was placed at a price of over $13,000 in a daily German newspaper by an ad agency looking for some publicity… boy did they get it. In fact Apple is threatining lawsuits for misrepresenting them.
laf-
While IS ran around with heads cut off, I too wondered looking at the ‘love code’ why it is so easy to cripple entire empires… VB script? Luckily the Mac partition on the NT boxes survived while thousands of files and days of work went down the drain…interesting world- but the cost of ownership for mac owners just went down…
According to a late post yesterday by MOSR, there is a new Apple ad over at AdCrtic.com that nobody’s ever seen before. You can see it here.
My theory is that it was produced, shown to Apple management, and scrubbed. And with good reason. To me, it seems like it’s an ad that was put together by TBWA/Chiat-Day on an off-day. It adheres not at all to the Apple advertising paradigm, and in all honesty is not a very good ad. Not to mention the slight implication that the G4 costs a lot of money, necessitating a suitcase for it all. The only redeeming factor is the subtle hint that the girl at the very end is going to steal it herself. The other negative implication being that she can’t go down to her local CompUSA and pick one up.
