Yeah. I built up a $13,000+ Mac with their online builder and it came with a top of the line 4870 with 512mb. Yes, an HD 4870. Oh, and NO display. Sure it had 8tbs of storage and about $400 worth of memory, but damn, what massive robbery. If you add all the accessories and software it's up past $20,000 and it still has the same gimp 4870.

Luckily the government hasn't mandated that I buy one yet.

Another program for Apple Care to blame when OSX crashes or slows to a near hault.

I don't get why it must slow them down, havent they heard of hiring more people when you take on a new project/market? Besides, how many people does it take to upgrade/test a freakin full tower high end computer line?

now that its possible to install osx on standard PC components with not that much of effort, i hope people stop buying their desktops. they are robbing people blind.

But a G9 or something like that will work just fine

How can you even use the magic mouse?

There is no support for my hand when using it. I feel like I'm going to get carpal tunnel if I use it for any extended period of time.

It's not even form over function. It's freaking idiocy over common-sense.

-edit-

Nice and timely article.

Valve announced the Linux version too. Hopefully, it will follow soon. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/show...08#post2250308

Well done Valve. This is what you truly call cross-platform gaming and not the **** the others try and do. cough* GFWL cough*

EDIT: It's still a rumour.

I don't want the games on my SSD.

I won't be able to download and try this out until I get home but it looks like the OSX Steam crowd might just be you and I, slawter.

Yah, I am really looking forward to that

I can stay in Ubuntu for longer periods of time once this comes out.
