Weird software: Lonesome Electric Chicken

by David Chartier (RSS feed) on Jun 7th, 2006


I wish I had a more insightful or enlightening explanation for what the Lonesome Electric Chicken is, but I'm afraid there really isn't one. As its author, John Schilling, states on his site, it's a: "time and life wasting application that spews forth a gathering of quotations. That's it. Don't look any farther into it than that".

Killer app? Or scourge of cyberspace? Either way, John has made the source code available with this Universal Binary app, and he is accepting donations for his most interesting work.

Inside Mac Games has a nice roundup of reactions from various Mac OS X game developers on the news of Boot Camp. Reactions on the whole are positive concerning the opportunities that Boot Camp offers, and speculation from the likes of Aspyr, MacSoft, Freeverse and Ambrosia are hopeful that this will help boost the Mac gaming platform even faster.

Check out the roundup, as there are some great comments from individuals at these companies that touch on where they think the market is headed, and what we can expect in the not-too-distant future of Mac gaming.

Steve Jobs' greatest quotes

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Mar 29th, 2006

It seems like the whole Mac community is in a contemplative mood as Apple approaches its 30th birthday. In fact, Wired has posted an article that lists some of their all-time favorite Steve Jobs quotes, sorted into categories. My favorite from among Wired's selections is:

"If I were running Apple, I would milk the Macintosh for all it's worth -- and get busy on the next great thing. The PC wars are over. Done. Microsoft won a long time ago." -- Fortune, Feb. 19, 1996

It's a fun quote to read when you consider what an earth-shattering success the iPod and iTunes have been. So, TUAWers, do you have a favorite? I've always been fond of, "It's better to be a pirate than join the Navy."
