Flight Control HD Coming to Mac & PC via Steam

Yet another Mac app has made the jump to Steam! 

Macworld reports that Flight Control is making an early debut via Steam as they don’t want to wait until January to release their immensely popular line-drawing game. Firemint has already spread its game to other gaming platforms like the Playstation 3, DSi, and Windows Phone 7, so it’s not surprising to see it coming to the PC as well. 

The Steam version, which allows for accessibility for Mac and PC gamers simultaneously, will add some extra features to set it apart from previous versions. There will be a “Stunt Flying” map in which you can gain extra points by passing through certain areas. Flight Control HD will also support Steam achievements and leader boards.

It’s fairly obvious that Firemint is planning to make money off users by making them pay twice for the same game (for the Steam and Mac App Store versions), so think twice before rushing off and purchasing Flight Control HD for Mac & PC. We only recommend purchasing this Steam copy if you can’t wait until 2011 (if you’re that impatient)!

Apple Hiring "Mac App Store Reviewers"

According to MacNN, Apple has begun hiring individuals to review the Mac App Store. These jobs are located in offices close to the Apple’s headquarters, Cupertino, as they are based within California's Santa Clara Valley. 

As listed by Apple, applicants must be specialized in software application, organized, and prepared to handle and focus on heavy workloads. Strangely, requirements for technical skills are of low importance (only Mac OS X experience is needed) and being a practiced writer in French, Japanese or German is a plus and gives you an advantage over other applicants. These jobs include checking for any bugs and thoroughly inspecting lines of codes.

Only seven positions are listed for a “Mac App Store Reviewer”, so hurry over if you’re interested!
