I will be posting the video after I finished editing it and showing it to Carlos. Check back for the exclusive official video podcast of Carlos Alazraqui at 37prime!

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is available in Mac OS X Universal Binary

Finally, Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is available in Mac OS X Universal Binary.
One of the best and FREE game out there. Did I say FREE?

The PowerPC version was a resource hog. I’m downloading it right now and will test it later today.

UPDATE:
I’m having trouble connecting to most servers.

From Timothee Besset:

“I hope ETPro and other major ET mods out there can update and support the new Mac client soonish.
Meanwhile you may have a bit of trouble finding servers that will accept this new client
(the best approach may be to use qstat [3] and filter for servers running etmain/,
I haven’t found a good third party server browser for OSX at this point)”

I used to play a lot at Hamsters House Of Fun server.

SlingPlayer for Mac OS X Public Beta2 1.0.1.145 is Available

Previously, I downloaded SlingPlayer for Mac OS X Public Beta2 1.0.1.144 on January 1st 2007 and had a few trouble using it. It required SlingBox firmware upgrade but whenever I launched Slingbox Setup Assistant it always said that it was expired. After a little bit of fiddling around, the SlingPlayer worked without upgrading Slingbox firmware. The Slingbox Setup Assistant still unusable because it’s still expired.

Today I downloaded SlingPlayer for Mac OS X Public Beta2 and the version turned out to be 1.0.1.145. I have yet tried upgrading the Slingbox firmware.

This time I ran the SlingPlayer Uninstaller before installing the latest SlingPlayer. I then launched Slingbox Setup Assistant and it didn’t come up with expiration message. So far, so good. The next thing I need to do next is to upgrade the Slingbox firmware from within the local network.

Apple TV, Apple iPhone, and New Airport Extreme 802.11n

Thanks to bad WiFi receptions, bandwidth hog and some other factor, I didn’t get to connect to the internet at MacWorld.

Ayway, two new products from Apple announced by Steve Jobs.

  1. Apple TV
    http://www.apple.com/appletv/
    Priced $299 (U.S.) and will ship in February.
    As expected, it has 40GB hard drive for local caching and storage.
    “It is a cool product, but not necessarily a must have product at this point. I will find out more before making any purchasing decision.”
  2. Apple iPhone
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/
    Tentatively scheduled for released in June 2006 (U.S.)
    GSM Quad Band (no 3G) and EDGE
    Cingular exclusive (for U.S.)
    $499 (4GB) and $599 (8GB) with 2 year contract.
    3.5 inch screen at 3:2 ratio (landscape)
    Operating System: OS X
    iPod capability
    Built-in 2.0 megapixels camera
    802.11b/g and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR
    “Yikes! It is basically a Mac. I’m surprised that it’s not called MacPhone. One thing that might stop me from getting this so called phone is the price with 2 year contract. Now I have to wait till June to spend my hard earned money.”

Apple also shows off the newly redesigned and updated Airport Extreme Base Station.
http://www.apple.com/airportextreme/
It now officially supports 802.11n protocol, offering up to five times the speed and twice the range compares to 802.11g protocol. It has one WAN port and three LAN port. It also has one USB 2.0 port that can be used for printer sharing or USB mass storage sharing.

SlingMedia has released SlingPlayer for Mac OS X Public Beta2 1.0.1.144

With the new version of the Player, SlingMedia also releases new firmware upgrade for the SlingBox.

Unfortunately, SlingBox Setup Assistant is forcing firmware upgrade and saying that the version of the SlingPlayer has expired. No firmware upgrade can be done. As of this moment, the SlingPlayer for Mac OS X can not connect to the SlingBox.
