Microsoft’s working on a program to utilize speech to text, and then automated translation as a “phone call.” Quotes because the call was technically made through a computer. Not perfect, but may be useful in business situations.

Yup, that’s right. The gaming company known as Valve (creator of Counterstrike and Half-Life) is making Steam, their electronic game distribution center, available for Macs. This means that those with a Macintosh computer will be able to enjoy many of the games available solely to Windows users. This is a big deal, as you can imagine, seeing as how gaming, though very possible with Macs, is not at all as readily available for such systems. Many who wish to play games are forced on to a Windows computer because of this. Awesome!
