New EVE Online Expansion Detailed 96

Eurogamer reports on the EVE Online Fanfest, at which developer CCP revealed details on the game's next expansion, due out in March. It will be the biggest expansion yet for EVE, and it will "introduce 'Tech 3' modular ship designs, branching epic mission arcs, further improvements to the new player experience, and exploration of uncharted space through unstable wormholes. ... The focus of the expansion will be 'true exploration,' with players using new skills and modules to travel through wormholes into all-new, unconnected space." CCP also hinted that further graphical upgrades would be coming, and a standalone first-person shooter based on EVE may be in development for a console release.

Submission + - Apple Ignores Enterprise Market: Does It Matter? (osweekly.com)

AAPL writes: "Apple appears to be losing its edge on the enterprise front, thanks in part to its upcoming entrance into the mobile sector. Does anyone care? From the article, "Apple knows what sells, regardless of what they happen to be trying to sell at the time. So if they want to simply "dabble" in the enterprise market (from the support perspective), then so be it. When you look at their ever-growing market share on the consumer side of things, Apple is quickly becoming the king of that jungle. They are encroaching into Microsoft's market share with their Mac line, and if they play their cards right, they may also take a bite out of the consumer level cell phone market with their much famed iPhone."
