    You must have missed the EA announcement of full Mac support from now on. Or id showing off their new game engine on a Mac.

    He was not Marconi's assistant, or any some such. Marconi used Tesla's patents for his radio.

    The TRS/80 was made by Tandy, the people that own Radio Shack, and just recently changed their company name from Tandy Corporation to Radio Shack Corporation. TRS/80 stands for Tandy Radio Shack 80. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS_80 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandy_Corporation

    Of course, they couldn't use the Hi-Def label unless it used over saturated lighting.

  7. Re:Commander Keen? on id Software Working on New Title · · Score: 1

    That would actually be really sweet. Someone should suggest that to them, it's the only series they haven't milked yet.

  8. Re:OpenGL? on id Software Working on New Title · · Score: 1

    I thought the Source engine started it's life as the Quake engine, and is supposed to still contain code from it.

    Only after the StrongARM series of chips are saved from certain doom by the fledgling Xscale. They'll then join forces to create one large processor. Eventually splitting tasks into two cores, one gold and one blue.

    My main Mac is a iBook G3 Clamshell. 300mhz overclocked to 400mhz. It runs great.

  11. Re:Shortage of consoles? on Nintendo's Iwata Confirms Big Games This Year · · Score: 1

    Stores around where I live are all sold out of Wiis, and continue to sell out within minutes of them going on sale, but there are plenty of PS3s and XBox 360s setting around on shelves. Not just display boxes either, but actual systems for sale. I live about 45 minutes from Ann Arbor. Only got mine through shear luck of someone I know going on break right before they went on sale and getting me one.

  12. Re:Is the Woz really that great? on Woz Talks About His Gaming Past · · Score: 2, Interesting

    According to his book, iWoz, Woz created the BASIC for the Apple II based off of the BASIC for HP's computers. Most everyone else was using one based off of Microsoft's, which was based off of DEC's version of BASIC. So there were some incompatibility issues.

    He also says in there that most of what they talk about in those other books about what went on is wrong. And that he's very unhappy with them.

    It's a very interesting book to read, should check it out.

    My SPH-A960 I just got a couple months ago has that as well. It's amusing to play with for a couple minutes, but there isn't any software on there that really requires it.

    Actually, Jack is talking about this weird cult, Christianity, that don't know the true joy of our father Miyamoto. He does not believe in the holy text of Power.
