I was on the hot news section of apple.com and on the schedule it says e3, why would mac be at one of the biggest, if not the biggest gaming conference?

Why would Apple merge with a company who don't take themselves seriously? Maybe before the Wii renaming incident but not now. Nintendo are just taking the Wii.
I wonder if Apple will be showing off bootcamp and showing how well Windows gaming works with it. After all, they are out to sell hardware.

- Nintendo game library running on OSX, buy the games from an online store like iTunes, including older games.
- combo iPod / gameboy DS
- seamless iPod/Wii integration
- The Wii would become a mac at a lower price point than the mini - it would be the "mac nano", and run Mac OS X on its powerPC processor. People who want "the best nintendo that money can buy" would upgrade to higher level macs - all the nintendo games would be in universal binary format.
Maybe it has something to do with the Media Center that is apperently coming around? I could be completely off, just a guess. The Nintendo thing sounds like something that could happen at E3.
It makes sense for them to be visible at E3 since the Intel transition is taking place, the beta release of BootCamp has been out, etc. They can get some good visibility and hands-on play with gamers and get them to comment and think about Apple offerings. They might even want to show support for some of the newer titles and ports from software vendors that are there.

I have been running Half Life 2 for 2 straight days now. When I am over with the game I restart and here I am safely in OS X!
Now If I could do that with a keyboard shortcut that would really rock!!
Windows still sucks ass.

Please, Epic. Please show Unreal Tournament 2007 because it's superior to anything Bungie could ever make.

Halo 3...shown on Mac first. Exclusive Xbox 360 release. Yeeeehaw!

Clicking on the icon would initiate an Automator script to reboot into WinXP & open the selected game?
(maybe even some type of automator on the Windows side which automatically reboots to OS X whenever the particular game is exited??!?)
Have a good number of Mac minis w/a brace of 250GB FW HDDs (One Gig FW RAID 0 for content, anyone??) feeding 23" ACDs set up to demo FrontRow?
Don't forget the Logitech Z6600 5.1 surround sound speakers (optical out, duh) with the minis?!
Sweet!
;^p
