Think Big with Your Mac Mini

Got your Mac mini? Still on order? You’re not alone. Whether you’re a Mac-newcomer looking to make an emergency boot disk or a seasoned veteran wondering where your Command key went, you’ll want to tune in for this week’s Freeloader Friday.

We’ll have you running iTunes from the couch (without binoculars) and taking a sneak peak at a program that may one day have you running Windows applications on your Mac.

Don’t miss it!

Note:

True Crime– Streets of L.A. trailer posted and C & C Generals Zero Hour ships

Sharp eyes have spied the new True Crime: Streets of L.A. trailer posted late last week by Aspyr on Apple’s Quicktime pages. In the game you play an out-of-control ex-cop whose unconventional methods leave him at odds with those on either side of the law. The streets of Los Angeles are in the middle of a vicious crimewave and you are the only hope for peace to be restored. True Crime: Streets of L.A. is available as a pre-order for US$49.95.

Also from Aspyr Media, we hear tell that Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour, the first expansion pack for the critically acclaimed Command & Conquer Generals, has begun shipping. The game is expected to arrive in stores by Friday, February 25th and was developed for Macintosh by i5works.

Note:

Command & Conquer Generals’ first expansion pack, Zero Hour, goes gold

Zero Hour, the first expansion pack for the game that lets you pretend to be the top brass, has gone gold master and is scheduled to begin shipping Monday, February 21. Even the most seasoned Command & Conquer Generals must learn new
