Gaming For Mac Users Is Here!

Check out this article from Gizmodo, great news for mac users!

Steam for Mac is officially available, along with a sizeable trove of games—including Portal, which is now free for everybody.

Valve’s plan is to release a new set of games for Mac every Wednesday for the next few weeks. This week, notably, every game has SteamPlay, which means you buy it once, and it’ll run on all Steam-supported platforms (which implies that not every Steam game available on Mac and PC will necessarily be SteamPlay style).

I honestly can’t tell you how hard it is not to pee my pants right now (and I just went to the bathroom).

Right now, there 63 games/gamepacks listed as being available for Mac—Torchlight, Civilization, the LucasArts action pack, among others—though no TF2 in sight, for now. (Though I’m still chaffing that it shoves your game files inside of the Documents folder.) Full list on Gizmodo.com

Microsoft Office 2010 Beta

Well for those of you interested in testing out the newest Office Suite from Microsoft head on over to Office Beta. Personally I think 2007 was much improved and wouldn’t mind trying out 2010. For now I’m holding out on testing this bad boy, Beta’s can be buggy.

 Here’s a blurb from Microsoft’s FAQ’s sheet. “Microsoft Office 2010 offers you rich and powerful new ways to deliver your best work – at work, home or school – on your computer, from a Windows Mobile-based Smartphone or via a Web browser.¹ Quickly and creatively grab your audience’s attention and inspire them with your ideas by using enhanced and easy-to-use tools, customizable templates, color schemes, and photo-editing capabilities. With a new co-authoring experience, you can work with people from different locations at the same time. And by offering more ways to access your files from almost anywhere, Office 2010 puts you in control of getting things done according to your schedule. Simplify your tasks and create amazing results with Office 2010 — wherever life takes you.”

If you’re handy with Office and feel like trying 2010, go get that Beta!
