A SMERBL CALL TO ARMS

Tonight is our Hackmaster game at the office. The "Pointy Ears of Playnet" battle against the fierce onslaught of GM "BLOO" and his minions of utterly defeatable, no honor havin' minion. As tribute to our illustrious GM, fellow rat (ex) and friend BLOO I thought I'd share his latest saying of nay and general call out against blogging. I don't know wtf SMERBL is but I do know that great picture on his sight is courtesy of none other than the fan favorite rat-cam and that poetry is right frekin' on!

DEATH TO BLOGGERS!...oh wait....

I hope this doesn't garner me a roll on the Smart-ass Hackmaster Smackdown table.

Intel to buy Apple? Not as crazy as you might think.

Today, Robert X. Cringely let's loose with some free thinking on why in the heck Apple would move to Intel. On the surface it sure seems like a great thing...right? Problem is, the more you think about it the more unanswered questions come up. AMD or the cell processor from IBM make better options if this is a purely technological move. Preannouncing the deal will likely crush Apple's sales for the next 18 months as Mac usrers wait on their new platforms to come out. So wtf is going on here. Read on to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Spoiler: What if Intel is just finally so sick of MS that they are planning to stage a coup?

Mac goes Intel

You've heard the scuttlebutt and its been confirmed.

Mac OS X has been leading secret double life. Every Mac project build for Intel and PowerPC and Intel. Every release of Mac OS X has been built for both Intel and PowerPC-based Macs. For the last 5 years. Mac OS X is cross-platform by design. Apple's demo is on an Intel-based system. Jobs shows all Mac OS X Tiger features are already compatible with Intel-based processors. Not done yet. Will put into the developer hands to help Apple finish it. [10:32 am]

I'm not sure what the impact for us will be. Supporting the game on 2 seperate mac platforms could be a real deal killer. unlike most Apps we have to run on a live server. I guess we can have two versions but it sounds like a real PIA. I can't decide if I should drop some huzzahs or mail Jobs a pipe bomb. Thoughts?

Drawing uncovered of 'Nazi nuke'

I'm not sure if this yet qualifies for a Tier 4 inclusion but its pretty interesting. Apparently they Germans were closer to dropping (or in this case shooting!) nukes than previously thought. Talk about RDP imbalance...OUCH!
