Cloud app finally posts what the hell Cloud App actually is.

Click the “More” button at the top of the map and check the “Bicycling” checkbox. Very cool.

“We looked at a variety of methods to get our games onto the Mac and in the end decided to go with native versions rather than emulation,” said John Cook, Director of Steam Development. “The inclusion of WebKit into Steam, and of OpenGL into Source gives us a lot of flexibility in how we move these technologies forward. We are treating the Mac as a tier-1 platform so all of our future games will release simultaneously on Windows, Mac, and the Xbox 360. Valve to Deliver Steam & Steam on the Mac Thanks to John Gruber of Daring Fireball for the link to the Wired story that includes a great quote from Dan Connors of Telltale Games: “We have games that run on the Mac and we have games that run on Steam, so our goal is to be there,” Connors said. “We think they’re going to do a great job with getting the Steam client over there and we want to continue to be a part of it.” I imagine a lot of other game developers are going to be saying the same thing. (via erice) I honestly don’t play games on my mac. Not because there aren’t that many of them, but because I’m not 17 anymore and I have shit to do when I’m at my computer. Portal changes that. I can’t think of any other game I would even play on my Mac. This is going to be amazing

#Piracy Friday: The DRM Effect

(click here for the full size image)

mrgan: I mean, where to start. 1. The new version of Microsoft Visio - which, in case you’re not cursed with a sucky office job, is a very popular diagramming app - includes a rip-off of Panic’s Transmit truck. 2. They didn’t just copy the icon, of course - they first ran it through the world’s worst autotracer (check out that front grill!) 3. All the other icons in the app are of this “quality”. 4. Visio also includes a groundbreaking feedback feature called Send-A-Smile/Send-A-Frown. It is of similar quality as well. (via Cabel) HA!!(is all I have to say)

#Music Monday: iTunes Sprucing

I highly recommend these applications that I’ve been using for organizing my iTunes library.

CoverSutra

This is a pretty great way to get control over your iTunes library with your keyboard. You can rate songs, change songs, change playlist, search songs and even scrobble to Last.fm. Snoop around with the preferences to get your keyboard shortcuts where you want them.

Get Lyrical

Automagically add the lyrics into the meta data for each one of your iTunes tracks. (bonus: if you tap the screen on your iPhone while a song with lyrics in it is playing, it will display the lyrics over the cover art. Neat!)

Pro Tip: I’m still sorta lazy from the weekend so going to the developer websites for better descriptions would be in your best interest. CoverSutra does a lot more than what I covered here.

Anonymous asked: dear diary, ~50% of the time (yes, really) i use the generic snow leopard option to burn a disc, it fails during verification, creating more coasters and wasting my time. when i use iTunes or the Toast Titanium 10 Special Pirated Edition, everything is cool. what the hell, generic burn folder!

There are enough potential causes of this issue that I’d have to recommend just doing an archive install of your operating system. Sorry I can’t go much further than that. Also, sorry I missed this question for almost a week. I’ve been busy. I’ll try and get things going again today.
