  • Mac gaming staple 'Marathon' is being resurrected by Bungie and Sony

    This is going to be interesting because a lot of Marathon’s soul went into Halo BEFORE Microsoft bought Bungie and fucked it up. It’s ironic because it appears they did that after Steve Jobs showed it during a Macworld keynote. I wonder if Microsoft will sue Sony if it’s just Halo for the PS. 

    Btw I still have all my Marathon CDs and Myth too. Loved Marathon’s intro music!
    I have kept around a few old 24 inch iMacs with the Myth image still attached. Still play over LAN on occasion. It would be cool to have more Bungie games resurrected. (I know not gonna happen but I can dream)

  • Lost bag with AirTag saga is over -- but United still hasn't explained itself

    I actually had a similar experience happen to me a couple years ago. I left my iPad on Delta flight in Orlando. I called Delta to let them know I left it and they said they would look for it. I started tracking it and  watched it leave the airport through a service road and stop in a parking lot just outside the airport. I sent a message to my iPad saying I can see you have my iPad. As soon as I sent the message it turned around and came right back the way it had come and then sat in a random part of the airport by one of the stores. Meanwhile I was on the phone with customer service telling them all of this. They said sorry we can’t find it, we don’t know what happened. I kept telling them I can see it right where it is. They still said sorry can’t find it. 
    Next day I get a call from them saying they found it and would overnight it. I tried to press them for an explanation but they wouldn’t give one to me. 
    Airlines can be a mess sometimes.

  • iPhone 12 active user base grew faster than iPhone 11, despite later start

    Not trying to sound to obvious here but when one of the major carriers (AT&T) offers $700 off an iPhone 12 for new and existing customers as compared with only offering $300 for existing customers on the iPhone 11 last year, it’s not super surprising that the iPhone 12 has significantly more market share.

    I don't know what everyone is talking about, this clearly says 4 "ex" fun.

  • Just as it did with iPhone 8, Best Buy tacks $100 extra onto upfront payments for iPhone X...

    Having been reading AI for a while I know first time posters are not given much credence but having worked for a few Premier Apple partners I can tell you that retailers such as Best Buy actually buy the phones for the full retail cost, sometimes over retail.  In order for them to make any money they have to get a kickback from the cellular companies or they have to charge more.  I personally still wouldn’t buy from them even if the price was the same as Apple’s but just throwing that out there.
