Posted by Rob LeFebvre at 9:30 pm on 05-24-2013
Rather seedy of Apple, don’t you think? Apple has just posted a new pre-release developer seed for upcoming OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4, Build 12E55. In the notes accompanying the seed release, which includes Combo (comprehensive) and Delta (just changes) update installers, Apple notes the same focus areas as the last few seeds: Wi-Fi, Graphics Drivers, and Safari.

Posted by Rob LeFebvre at 9:11 pm on 05-24-2013
Build and manage a floating continent while everything fights against you. Sounds like a good weekend. God games tend to be pretty similar: build a little city, tell the inhabitants what to do, and watch them do it. Not in this game, though. Skyward Collapse is a fantastic mashup of a 4X strategy game (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate) with a god-game (Spore, Black & White, Civilization)....

Blast from the past: The Apple QuickTake 150 digital camera
Posted by Richard Devine at 7:39 pm on 05-24-2013
It's possible to forget, but Apple used to have their own line of digital cameras. Back in the mid-nineties they launched three cameras under the 'QuickTake' product banner. What we have here is the second of those; say hello to the Apple QuickTake 150. Launched in 1995, the QuickTake 150 cost new a staggering $700.

Trailers uploaded to the site after an approximate date of May 22 no longer have any...
