Steam Prompts OS X Graphics Update

Stoobalou writes "Mac gamers got a massive boost when online gaming hub Steam started supporting the platform a few months ago. The arrival of the online service, which allowed Mac-toting gamers to play some of the same games as their PC brethren, in some cases cross-platform, created a great deal of debate between the two camps, with the PC crowd pillorying Mac fans for the relatively poor performance of their expensive hardware. Now it seems that Apple has gotten the message, as they have provided a graphics update for OS X Snow Leopard which will make progress toward closing the gap between the two platforms."

this is why Mac market share is around 10%

the computers are expensive even though if you compare prices to Dell/HP they are fairly competitive, but it's little things like this that keep me from really buying a Mac

games performance is a lot worse than Windows. for years all the isuckers said how OS X is better and faster than bloated Windows and now they are complaining

the graphics cards are weak and less video memory. it's like Steve Jobs has a fetish against killer graphics. i can get a cheapo PC with 1GB of graphics RAM. for an iMac i have to spend $1899 for the 27" model with yellow tint and a graphics upgrade

and Flash still sucks on Mac's even though it runs just fine with hardware acceleration on a $299 toshiba laptop i bought as a gift

Set theory fail

Does it not make anyone else cringe when people talk of the PC and Mac as if one isn't a subset of the other? This is 10x more annoying then iEverything...

Steam is evil.

Steam wont send me the confirmation email for my account.

They took my money, but since they won't send me an email, I can't do squat about
support. Basically I am just ripped off.
