It’s the toast of the town already, but in case you were under a rock, Steve Jobs got up on a stage and felt alive again today. His computer company will soon bring us the most comprehensive piece of pocket-sized electronics ever marketed to normal people.

As you can already see in vivid color on Apple’s web site, the iCameraNewtonBrowserPhonePod, or “iPhone” for short will do everything but link up for multiplayer on your old GBA games.

It’ll be godawful expensive, but I look forward to seeing fewer Razrs on the street.

An ambitious mod of WarCraft III is being undertaken by Snowflake Entertainment to bring Starcraft a little more up to date.
Blizzplanet has a Q&A with the “Project Revolution” team.
The project is about 50% complete and they promise all the speed and fun of Blizzard’s neglected franchise. They’ve even got a mac programmer on staff to ensure it will work on OSX. (yes!) All you’ll need is to own the StarCraft and Broodwar discs, as this prevents violations of any intellectual property laws.
This should be some good news to fans since (though still unofficial) StarCraft: Ghost has been cancelled.

Lets start with the fantastic:

Thats Half Life 2 running on an Intel Core Duo powered Apple iMac, with a little help Boot Camp. This has already got folks from both the Windows and OSX sides of the aisle howling at the death of mac gaming. Why care if a game makes to the apple tree if you can run it just as well on windows on the same computer?
…But not so fast! Blizzard, makers of the most popular online game of the past few years, is championing continued support for native OSX.
In the end, more macs in the market mean more games for mac. Its simple math. Emulation, even sanctioned emulation, can’t take the place of the real deal. Apple has the gamer crowd’s attention now, with even those Penny Arcade guys playing on Macs. I just hope they use it and throw some weight behind game development because houses porting Sims expansions won’t cut it. If they did half of what Microsoft is doing for games, Apple might switch more than just music lovers.
