    Nope. It comes out this summer according to the company porting it.

    And why have an overpriced computer and a games console, when you can have a PC? Besides, the variety of games you get on the console really aren't to my cerebral tastes
    Because PCs are a waste of money. For the amount of time and cash that most people waste on keeping them running, they could afford a computer that suffers from none of the common PC (read: Windows) problems, and has a modern operating system instead of some 5 year old piece of insecure trash.

      Besides.. in a couple of months you will be able to install Windows on your Macintosh for playing games, while being able to boot back into OS X for serious work or Linux if you so choose.

        In all fairness to PCs, the price difference between them and consoles is not what it once was.

          Ag, that's all propaganda This PC has cost me nothing to run. And I have used a Mac in the past, it crashed far more regularly than a PC Bleeding awful, actually.

          And on your latter point - why by an overpriced Mac and install Windows when you could just, now wait for it, buy a PC

            In further news, spyware doesn't touch Opera at all because Opera has wisely chosen to not have an equivalent to Firefox's non-sandboxed *.xpi

              No, but it has plugins which can have spyware.

              How do you spell FUD?

              .xpi is why Firefox pwns Opera.

                  Any plugin you want. The nature of extensibility opens up the doors to programs that do not do what you want to do. Plugins are one form of that.

                      You mean things like Flash, Shockwave and Quicktime? Because those are the only plugins I have in Opera.

                        I have no idea what you're talking about.

                        I'm saying it's possible for Plugins to contain spyware, just like .xpi Extensions. That's what you get when you open your program up to extensibility.

                            Jesus people...

                            It was in response to St. Leo's comment about Firefox being open to spyware because of .XPI extensions. I was merely pointing out that Opera is also open to spyware because of plugins.

                            Anyone can make a plugin to do whatever they want it to...

                              With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
