AppleCrypt Mods vote !

I decided to make my first poll for my website 'AppleCrypt Mods'. Due to the ongoing upgrade from dotMac to MobileMe, I still cannot update the actual content. So, I thought I'd create this little poll while I was bored..

Is AppleCrypt Mods a site that you use a lot? We're feeling a little bit lonely and wonder just how many people bookmarked us and visit regular. It sometimes seems Mac gaming is dying a slow death, which is very backward considering how many Macs are being sold compared to recent years!

So are there many players out there modding their favourite fps game???

Leave your comments too ! :-)

Feeling lonely How often do you visit AppleCrypt Mods hourly daily every other day weekly monthly whenever i remember! i hardly ever visit here... never, this is my first & only visit i hate AppleCrypt Mods i've no interest in this site. How did I get here? lol View Result free web polls

.Mac finally gone. . .

The transition took a little longer than we all expected ;-)  But .Mac disappears forever from my computer today.  I hate the 'MobileMe' name as it's crap, but lets hope it works as good as the service it replaces.  Well, now I've got 20GB to play with, I just hope they make it a little faster and more responsive.  This was my only gripe with .Mac overall.

Goodbye forever .Mac !

R.I.P. .Mac

This week sadly sees the end of the troubled .Mac service that Apple's been providing since the days of iTools. It's had it's problems along the way and many have complained about speeds issues or the subscription fee. But i've always loved .Mac and it's been a fantastic service to me.

There's more to the new .me (urgh i hate that name!) than meets the eye. It's .Mac on steroids and comes with a whole host of cool features while still retaining the current ones.

Well, most anyhow. There's a few features that will be missing such as iCards & Web Bookmarks. I really cannot understand Apple sometimes..

I'm looking forward to trying out the new features, especially when I get an iPhone (maybe next year sometime). Until then I cannot forgive Apple for loosing the web bookmarks that's been incredibly useful over the years!

At least I'll keep my " .mac " email address ! haha

Blizzard's pure Mac dedication

A few days ago I decided that I wanted to make a simple 'thank you' blog posting to one of the finest examples of a dedicated gaming company. One that supports the Mac platform as good as you could ever desire.

A company that makes their own original games and continues to support them with various future updates many years down the line. Always making sure that their collection is compatible with the latest Macs and always making sure bug fixes are dealt with. This alone makes the Blizzard team unique.

Not many companies make games for the Mac, especially original games rather than conversions of Windows titles.  Please note, that is no dig at the amazing 'Aspyr' who convert some of the best games for us to play. I humbly want to pay my respects to Blizzard for their amazing Mac dedication that's seen so little today compared to previous years in Mac gaming.

I checked out their web site the other night to see the upcoming Diablo 3. It looks incredible! Guess what, it comes out the same time as the Windows release. Amazing, I cannot wait to play this game!!

Happy Fourth of July !

Another celebration day all within the same week! This time it's America's Independence Day. So a very happy Fourth of July to you all!!
