OKay...first of all, Mr. Carmack was playing on a Mac. Can't remember if it was the cube or not (which was there) but it was at least a G4, if nothing else. They actually had a LAN set up of all iMacs, G4's and one cube. He was using the flat-screen monitor which, IMHO, was far below quality. And as for that new mouse....odd. And there is another mouse option, they were using the Razor Boomslang gaming mouse on the G4 Cube and the iMac's and G4 towers they had there. The Razor mouse is a bit difficult to get used to. Messing with that cube actually gave me a reason to be interested in Macs again. =)
totally agreed. I am quite sure that he will have NO problem getting a job elsewhere. I just was kinda jolted by the act itself. I had to read it a couple times before it hit me...."wait, that DID say Paul Steed was fired! Yike!" Really kind of a "keaneu-whoa" type of moment.
I kinda disagree that the fact that a new version of Doom being released is more important than Paul Steed, or anyone for that matter, being fired just out of what is supposedly spite or retaliation. Just my $.02. *shrugs*
