The old company Onlive was owned by did not accept investments, so those 40 million never existed.

They went into bankruptcy because they couldn't make enough money using their current business model. The old CEO lied and screwed over most of his employees.  HTC announced today that they lost 40 million in investment to Onlive through the bankruptcy, I would not believe a single word coming out of Onlive.

I give it 6 months before Onlive disappears and all your purchased games disappear with them.

Reading about the CEO it seems that the entire point of this venture was to be able to sell or licence the patents at some point. There was never any interest in servicing gamers or treating his employees in a decent or fair way. He invented Quicktime back in the day but as a business man he seems like a complete lollypop.

Gaikai and Onlive use very similar tech, obviously not the same Business model, Gaikai was positioning itself as middleware from day one and that payed off by being bought by Sony, its employees and CEO were rewarded. In Onlives case the CEO looses nothing, the employees get screwed as their stock options are now worthless and they have no job, the big investors get a refund and I imagine the new owner will shutdown the game serving end of Onlive and go the Gaikai route and peddle middleware.

Apple slid their throat open when they released Lion and thought of combining phones and computers together.

Apple's slow put steady Mac market share increase every quarter + record profits every quarter for the last 25 quarters shows that the average user is quite happy with Apple's direction to date. Those that don't like the direction are always welcome to use Windows or Linux.

As has been mentioned Apple is not abandoning X11, as with java they are leaving someone else to maintain it while concentrating their resources elsewhere.

As an Apple use since the Apple ][+ I welcome the evolution.

I'm glad there is games coming to mac, but using resources on a game that already is two years old is just sad.
Aspyr should really go for porting Black Ops 2 instead.

I wouldnt be surprized if Aspyr has been working on this port for the last 2 years. It seems like all their good porters left and are working for Feral now.
