    Now nobody can complain about the Mac having no games. Between this and the puzzle-thing they are re-introducing in Tiger, the Mac now has both shoot-em-up and strategy games covered!

      Hey, mods, either mod the parent Funny or Flamebait...but not insightful. Jeez.

    First it's GarageBand. And now it comes with Garage Games. What next? Is Apple going to return to building computers in the garage?

      The sad thing is, it'd probably be faster to fab the G4 yourself from cobbled-together equipment than Apple's current wait times for new shipments from Motorola.

      Nope... They're taking over the Monster Garage show. Watch Steve and the gang take an old station wagon and turn it into a giant mobile Beowolf Cluster of XServes... complete with an air-powered cannon for shooting apples at various Redmond, WA landmarks!

      Highly relevant considering that the iMac is using a G5 made by IBM.

    I first read the title as "G5 iMac to come in marble blaster gold" and thought Apple was going back to making funky-colored computers.

      Marble and gold is a good start, but Apple would really start grabbing marketshare with some rubys set in a platinum case.

      Titanium and the like are so....Pour le type inférieur de personnes, if you know what I mean.

      There is this one game that I've been playing a lot on my new gentoo box. The game is called emerge. First you type emerge and guess the name of the program you really want to install. Then you watch your computer do all kinds of crazy shit for somewhere between 10 minutes and 6 years before you get dumped back to a shell with no idea as to what just transpired!

    Wow....a $19.95 value. This is makeing that iMac look unbeatable!

    O.k. I didn't post in the first article about the iMac 'cause I was only going to be a fanboy anyway, but the new iMac looks like a great value, so why this story?

    $2500 Canadian for a 20 inch lcd widescreen + 64bit + linux + comboDrive? Screw the bundling, sign me up!

    I have gotten only one email for my political and antiabortion stance. I have gotten dozens of posts from /. apple fantics.

    They are insane.
