Those of you in the huge group of people using a Mac for your mobile computing--and those in the probably smaller group of people trying to play games on Linux--are in luck. At the QuakeCon kickoff press conference a few minutes ago, id Software's Marty Stratton briefly announced that the web-based Quake Live client will finally be available for OS X and Linux next Tuesday. (If you happen to be at QuakeCon, you can go play it on those platforms on the show floor right now.)
Good news for people like me who go on business trips like the one I'm on right now with their MacBooks. Hmm. Too bad it isn't out right now. Since it's based on a decade-old game and all, Quake Live ought to run on just about anything at this point.
