Run Windows apps on your Mac with CrossOver Mac

Want to run Windows programs on your Mac? Got one of those new-fangled Intel Macs? Great; you're halfway there! No more putting up with perpetually-slow Virtual PC for you. But maybe you don't want to bother with actually running Windows on your Mac, either. All you want to do is play Half-Life, after all.

CrossOver Mac, produced by Codeweavers, may be the solution for you. It allows you to run Windows applications natively from within Mac OS X. (Codeweavers, remember, is a major corporate supporter of Wine.) Grab the free beta version now; once it hits 1.0 status, you'll have to pay $40 for it.

I wonder if that means makers of freeware games can use it for free.

Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
