Apple Design Awards 2008

The fact that Guitar Hero 3 won for best leopard game just goes to show you the sad state of Mac gaming.
I had a brand new iMac (basically the only computer the game actually ran on) and the game was unplayable on anything but the lowest res with the crowd OFF and even then it wasn't registering notes well.
Also, the first version of it wouldn't exit properly, it had a memory leak when it quit that forced you to reboot, and when it quit the windowserver would interact at glacial speeds.
Guitar Hero 3 may not have taken a single developer 2 minutes, but I'm fairly certain that the developers in question had never seen a Mac before.

I don't get it. I got to the AOL link and get a regular Safari page. I try to play music, and I get 'You need the latest Flash Player..."

WTF is the "Award Winning" iPhone Player???

What did the Associated Press win for?! Can't be their website -- it looks like dirt on my iPhone...

Don't be a pussy! Everybody, including your grandmother, hears the word "fuck" a thousand times a day. But when someone who is upset about something dares to utter "profanity," we (as a society) shoot them down. This is hypocracy to the ultra. If someone's mad, he's mad. If you don't like the way he expresses himself, why should he care?

Command and Conquer? Fucking Command and Conquer? Seriously, who the fuck picks these? I want to know! What kind of fucking moron would give Command and Conquer for Mac an award? Didn't they play it? Didn't they realize what a piece of shit port it is, and that is is a COMPLETE FUCKING INSULT to the Mac platform? Don't they know that it is spitting in the face of Apple and all of its customers?

Someone better fucking get fired over this bullshit.

As someone who submitted to this, I can say that you could submit without having your application key. You didn't really miss much though, as they didn't even bother to send an email acknowledging that they received our entry, it was just ftp it to the location they asked for and then it was like it never happened, reminds me a bit of waiting for our application key. If you look close they really only appear to have considered major developers and not the small developers at all.

BTW: AOL Radio just became useable with Safari on the Mac, along with getting all of CBS Radio's feeds.

Here are links to them for anyone who wants them:

PS: thanks TUAW for all your great work, but maybe have a workshop on links. It feels like the links I want are never there (like this) and links that I CERTAINLY don't want (like a random link to "developers" in TUAW) abound. Look at Slashdot for a great example of well-thought-out links.

I know having confusing links drives up your ad count, but long term when you sacrifice usability and customer satisfaction for a few impressions you'll loose out.

Go ScreenFlow go!

Time to bury that neglected, dusty dinosaur from Ambrosia, Snapz Pro.

Seriously. Links. We're supposed to be lazy, not you guys.
