It must be "classic Mac game in the browser" day. Before it was Three-Sixty Pacific's "Armor Alley" for Mac, it was Sir-Tech's "Rescue Raiders" for the Apple II.

And, it's free and open source!https://armor-alley.net Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums

A Siri Remote can make controlling a Mac from across the room much easier, and with one utility you can use it as a small trackpad, although you'll need more than macOS's built-in support to get the full experience.Siri Remote with MacIf your Mac mini is connected to a TV, or you use your MacBook for presentations, reaching for a keyboard to control playback isn't always convenient. An Apple TV Siri Remote lets you manage basic controls from across the room without returning to your Mac.A Siri Remote connects to a Mac over Bluetooth, and macOS already supports some of its buttons. However, Apple designed the remote for Apple TV, so its clickpad doesn't automatically control the mouse or navigate Mac apps.Basic controls work without additional software, while third-party apps add more functionality. Whether it's worth setting up depends on how much control you need and whether you're willing to switch the remote between your Mac and Apple TV.

Apple chose to have perhaps four times more iPhone Duo stock at retail than for sale online on launch day, and even so, most went home empty-handed.Apple arranged its limited iPhone Duo stock so that most went to Apple Stores instead of to online pre-orders.Apple described demand for the iPhone Duo as being "extraordinary," and manufacturer Foxconn has talked about using its international facilities to produce more. Certainly the pre-order stock sold out instantaneously, although a new report suggests there was a reason for that.According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple elected to route the greater number of iPhone Duo units to Apple Stores instead of keeping them for online pre-orders. Citing people said to be close to Apple's logistics planning, he says on his "Power On" podcast that as much as 80% of the stock was reserved for the stores.

I used to only ever use CarPlay for playing podcasts and navigation, but since the arrival of Siri AI, I've found I'm using my iPhone for more things while driving, and it's changed the game in ways I didn't expect.CarPlay is a different beast with Siri AICarPlay itself has always been pretty great, but Siri has always been Siri. That means that I let it read my messages and maybe, if it felt like working, I used it to reply to one or two as well.But beyond the simplest of simple interactions, Siri did little more than frustrate me. And that's something I don't need when I'm driving. Continue Reading on AppleInsider
Before we've even really got to try out the iPhone Duo, Apple has announced so many more new devices. From the iMac and the iPad mini, to the first-ever touch-screen MacBook Pro, there is so much to discuss on the AppleInsider Podcast.This iPhone Duo is showing the two images that Wes talks about during the show.Both of your hosts are still obsessed with the iPhone Duo, especially now that the two of them have managed to buy one. With just a week's very intensive use, though, they are finding different issues and different benefits to what is surely a remarkable device.But then it's a device with a calendar app, and so this week you could also be using that to figure out when the latest iMac, iPad mini, and touch-screen MacBook Pro models will ship. You might also want to use the calculator app to considering the prices, too. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums
Glider was a classic Mac game that I'm betting a lot of you remember with some fondness. It's not being run in emulation, instead it's one of those source ports we keep pointing out. There's a big break-down of how it happened, why, and some of the publication year foibles on Chris Pirillo's newly resurrected lockergnome.https://dbohdan.github.io/glider/ Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums
