Google release date guesser, live in a search bar near you

Try it now; searching for games or movies in Googles awesome search box should give you a "best guess" for the release date of that item.

It even quotes the sources (via an expandable menu) - which is pretty awesome. It works by crawling the net and finding dates mentioned next to products, the more it gets the more accurate and "best" it rates it - certain websites are also weighted favourably - such as IMDb, and Wikipedia.

Gaming on MacBook Pro

Since Steam recently launched into the world of gaming for Mac, I decided that it needed checking out, so soon enough, "Left 4 Dead" and "Portal" were queued up for download. This was just something I couldn't miss out on.

Steam jumps in a Portal and appears on Mac and Linux - OpenGL fun all round

Steam, the games client that was, until today, limited to Windows has been launched for Mac and Linux too.


Now remember, it's only running OpenGL games, and seeing as most are made for DirectX it's going to be a long time until you can get your all-important fix of Call of Duty or tear up a few tracks on GRID, on your Mac. (Without Bootcamp, or other VM for all you wise guys..)
