Microsoft has yet to release a Zune player for Mac computers for unknown reasons, but for those that have a Windows Phone and prefer a Mac to aPC then you should be seeing your Windows Phone Connector client updated officially as of Friday. The updated software is now available in Apple’s Mac Store. Microsoft says it has fixed a high CPU utilization problem in certain sync situations and has included some performance improvements across the application.
The new Mac OSX Lion preview has thrown up a number of interesting tidbits, the most interesting of which is probably TRIM support for SSDs and the possibility of a HiDPI mode. The first refers to the ability of the system to automatically clean up an SSD drive which often tends to accumulate file fragments which prevents the system from writing to these sectors with fragments instead of overwriting and cleaning them up. This in turn greatly reduces the writing speed to the drive. TRIM allows the system to automatically check for and clear fragments, increasing the read/write speeds to a great extent. This option is enabled by default in Windows 7 and with SSDs gaining worldwide acceptance in the last year or so, this is a much needed update to the OSX platform in order for it to remain competitive in the market.
It was kind of odd to see Left 4 Dead 2 show up on the Mac side of Steam before it predecessor, but Valve did promise it would be on its way soon enough. Well right on time for Halloween Left 4 Dead has arrived on Mac with all of its DLC and add-ons for only $9.99.
Today, Valve has announced the much anticipated DotA 2 which is said to be the most played game in the world! However, the press release on the game was short and we don’t have an lot of details but we know for sure in 2011 you will be able to own it on PC and Mac.
Many of Valves hardcore or classic titles up until now had not made the jump over to MAC based Steam users, this will change as of tomorrow. Along with the new content that is being released multi platform for Left 4 Dead 2, Steam will also be releasing L4D2 for MAC users, and of course all of the new content will be released for free after the purchase of the game itself.
Even as a dominant console gamer, the name StarCraft has always held a special place in my gamer heart. Memories of huddling around a friends computer monitor staying up all night in skirmishes are nights that have made me who I am today.
After a 10 year wait StarCraft 2 will finally grace store shelves this evening with a variety of midnight launches at major retailers. When sequels to popular game franchises aren’t just an annual addition, that tends to represent quality not quantity. I think this release is a perfect example of that, a 10 year wait can only promote anticipation amongst gamers, then again hype and gaming go hand and hand.
