EA Releasing 6 Games for Mac
44 years ago

EA announced early this morning that they would be releasing some of their popular titles for the Mac, generally known as the “never-to-be-gamed-on” computer. Some of the titles already out are Battlefield 2142, Command and Conquer 3, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and Need for Speed: Carbon. Madden 08 and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 will also be shipping with a Mac version upon their releases, which will make it even easier for Ebay users to rip PC gamers off. Now, Mac users, if you don’t have a new Mac with an Intel processor, you’re out of luck trying to play these games.
I only have one problem with what EA is doing here, and that is: Where is Battlefield 2? If I had to make an educated guess, I would say that Battlefield 2 has more people playing online at one time than Battlefield 2142 or Battlefield 1942, so wouldn’t it make since to port that over to the Mac too? I guess business is business, what do I know about sales anyways?

EA Takes Another Step Towards Being Doomed
24 years ago
I just read an article over at Shacknews that told about how someone from the EA Headquarters has been making lots of changes to the EA Wikipedia page. Apparently he has been editing out nearly any reference to Trip Hawkins, who originally founded EA back in the day. He was even removed from the “key people” section (look for it on the right sidebar), even when people would try to add him back in. Since this whole shindig went down a couple days ago, there is already a content section noting the changes this staff member was making to the page.
In my opinion, this has to be one of EA’s dumber goof-ups they have made, which is saying something, because bad game support is key with EA. Why doesn’t EA monitor their employees (or the new CEO, if he was the one making the changes) better? If they continue down this path, they aren’t going to get very far into the future without a lot of ridicule from other people (as if they don’t have that already). Of course, I am forgetting a key fact; they have money, so they can get away with crap like this and still come out on top.
Windows Live SkyDrive Beta Review
04 years ago
Windows Live Folders (beta), recently renamed to Windows Live SkyDrive (beta), and with the name change has come new features. The basic idea of WLS is to give you a space to upload up to 500mb of info from your computer to the internet, to be accessed by you, friends, or everyone (with respective folders). The interface for WLS really didn’t change all that much, and the icons are all the same. The service does have better integration with all of the other live services, like Live Spaces and Hotmail, allowing you to link files from your Live Space to SkyDrive. Compared to other services though, the only benefit WLS has is integration with other Windows stuff, and if you are a fan of branded Windows services, this is for you. For other people, there is Gmail, with Gmail Manager for Firefox, and Avvenu, which lets you get any file off of your computer over the internet for free. Whatever service you choose, just remember to make sure it’s safe; you don’t need strangers getting into your files.
