I miss it.įirst, spare a thought for Valve, who've been busily trying to corner the Mac gaming market for most of this year and have just been roundly gazumped. 'Computer gaming.' Ah, there's a term we don't use anymore. Instead, I'm going to foam at the mouth about the possible wider implications for computer gaming. Basically though, it's like an iPhone/iPad layer on top of OSX, and is due out for Snow Leopard within 90 days (and also in the next version of OSX, Lion, when it releases next Summer).īut that's not the point for me posting this.

Just, y'know, not our personal computers.ĭetails on the OSX App Store are over on the frothing Engadget, if you need 'em. What this means is that hundreds of thousands of people are about to start buying and playing games on their computers again. Apple have, in another one of those creepily well-rehearsed press conferences that makes half of Twitter mistake a profit-driven mega-corporation announcing its latest way to earn a crapton of cash for some sort of love festival, announced that they're bringing the iPhone App Store onto their Macs.

Not-PC alert! Not-PC alert! But I will make it about the PC: this I swear to you.
