Aspyr keeping its system requirement cards close to its vest

Aspyr Media today announced they plan to no longer announce preliminary system requirements for games under development. On all future projects, only final system requirements will be given once testing of those requirements is complete — typically 4 to 6 weeks before the game ships.

Aspyr’s game utility for Mac, Game Agent, will have the most up-to-date information on final system requirements for all released games and those still under development. A free download of Game Agent is available here.

Steve Jobs– Bay Area’s Most Underpaid CEO

According to a press release issued today, Apple Computer’s Steve Jobs was the Bay Area’s most underpaid CEO in 2004, a dramatic turnaround from 2003, when he was one of the most overpaid. This information comes from research published Friday by the San Francisco Business Times which compared CEO pay with company performance for the 100 largest publicly held companies in the region.

Jobs took home $1 in total compensation from Apple for 2004. The previous year, he took home $74.8 million.

For full details, including the entire list of underpaid, fairly paid and overpaid CEOs at the Bay Area’s top 100 public companies, see Friday’s San Francisco Business Times print edition.
