Today’s keynote from Apple at WWDC was pretty exciting. Steve Jobs’ appearance at the developer conference sparks the first live test we’ve seen of the Mac OS X Leopard interface, and it looks sexy as hell in all of its 64-bit glory.

Sources are reporting that Electronic Arts Inc. has sold the movie rights of best-selling game series, “The Sims”, to 20th Century Fox. The Sims franchise has sold more than 85 million units since its debut 7 years ago. “The Sims has done an interactive version of an old story, which is what it’s like to have infinite power and how ...

This marks the second missed Vista release date for Halo 2, and this for an entirely more ridiculous reason. Halo 2 will now no longer be the first Windows Live enabled game because of “an unfortunate, obscure content error which includes partial nudity.” All we’d like to know is, where could there possibly be nudity included in a Halo game? ...

Less than a week remains until Apple CEO Steve Jobs and Microsoft Dictator Bill Gates square off in a head to head debate at the All Things Digital Event over in New York City.
