Just how much more does the PS3 cost than the Wii? Some clever graphs will show you.

Inform 7 is a "design system for interactive fiction." Or, to put it more plainly, it’s a program that will help you write text adventure games like Zork. Awesome.

These may or may not be fakes, but they’re still interesting. If they’re real, then 10.5 will feature tabbed finder windows, a merged iCal and Address Book, and a new desktop-manager system with a goofy fisheye lens transition - and *possibly* Windows app

Sadly, no. While I will always hold a special place in my heart for Interactive Fiction, I just don’t have the patience to create a story that open-ended.
