Ever since its introduction on the PC, Minecraft has become a widely popular sandbox building game unlike any other before it. Minecraft allows players to create literally whatever their imagination can think up with the blocks available to them. Android’s getting their version in only two days, but iOS gamers are going to have to wait a bit longer before they get to play.

Gamers, like all people, tend to be nostalgic for their youth. We wax poetic about Galaga, our first time blowing up the vector graphic Death Star, and almost all of Myst (except the ending…no one liked the ending of Myst).

However, just because a game is old doesn’t make it a classic, and the Topless Robot pop culture blog has compiled a list of The 10 Lamest PC Adventure Games of All Time, several of which were ported to the Mac.

Market research firm Gartner released a report Wednesday showing that Apple’s market share for personal computers in the US is now 6.6%, a nice step up from the 5.2% they were at. Shipping over 1.01 million machines, Apple is now the fourth under Dell, HP, and Acer respectively in the US market. Unfortunately, Apple has more »

For you not brushed up on you Latin, carpe diem is a popular literary expression meaning, “Seize the day.” What do I mean by this? If Apple wants to take control of the computer world that Microsoft has dominated for so long, now is the perfect time. All the planets are aligned, so to speak, and Apple just needs to take advantage of the situation. If they do it right, the tables could start to turn on Microsoft, leaving them wondering what happened. Here are three reasons the time is perfect for Apple to take control.

1) Vista. I think it’s safe to say that the majority of the population is fairly disappointed with Vista. After years of development and delays, it didn’t deliver. For that reason, the time is right for Apple to really push the idea of switching to Mac OS X and learning how to use an easier, more responsive operating system. The company needs to take advantage of the fact that Microsoft has been playing catch up with itself after Vista and really start hitting some nails into the coffin. For example, one area that Apple is really doing a great job of pushing users to switch is in their Get a Mac ads. Another strong point in this argument is the fact that Macs can run Vista and, in some cases, even better than a PC can.
