Computers themselves have evolved drastically since the turn of the millennia, back in 2000 a single gigahertz was a lot, and a gigabyte of RAM was considered overkill. The Playstation 2 and XBox were still vaporware, Cellphones just made calls and PDA’s just remembered data, and neither WiFi nor Cellular Data Networks had really caught on.
This decade brought HUGE advances in the hardware side of computing, and yet the way we interact with our computers is nearly identical to how it was back then. In fact, the way we use computers hasn’t significantly changed since 1984, back when color screens were a novelty and the internet was only for the geekiest of geeks. Modern UI’s are often still based around the limitations and capabilities of 26 year old computers, and though we don’t really think about it, are now just a huge inconvenience in almost every situation. We’ve already seen some very successful attempts at getting rid of these vestigial interfaces (chances are you’ve got one in your pocket right now), and I think that by the end of this decade the software that we use now will be just as obsolete as the hardware of 10 years ago is today.

This is a companion review for the NosillaCast podcast for RemotePad, an iPhone and iPod touch remote control app.
So, you’ve been buying equipment, enduring the harsh and sometimes often untruthful sales pitches from Best Buy associates, and you’re now setting it up. Your home theater system is starting to look really good, but how to control the Mac mini at the center of it all? RemotePad does that, and it does it well.

What if I told you that you could play a game that’s been around since 1988 on your Mac… without an emulator or compatibility layer? And what if said game was an important part of Macintosh history?
