Apple Finally Getting Its Game On?

Gamespot reports on the possibility that, in some way, Apple is making moves to develop games. From the article: "This week, GameSpot learned that there may be more to the Apple-game rumors than mere Mac-mad daydreams. A tech-sector recruiter contacted the GS NewsDesk with an interesting story of a prospective hire that got away. Recently, when said recruiter made an offer to a software engineer, the engineer turned the offer down--saying he was being 'heavily recruited by Apple.' According to the engineer, an Apple hiring manager named Mike Lampell is heading up a group inside Apple's storied iTunes division. The group is specifically hiring for 'C/C++ coders with a gaming background.'"

    On that article, I've been server a Macromedia flash ad WITH SOUND.

    I mean, I remember when Taco promised that there would be no ad on slashdot.
    I remember the first ad, and the appolgy that well, they would be unintrusive and not the kind of in-your-face animated gif that were the norm elsewhere.
    I remember the first animated gifs.
    And the flash.

    But now, fucking SOUND ?

    Welcome AdBlock+. Sorry Taco.
