The sharp eyes of CyberBob have spied a new edition of Letters to the Webmaster. Keep your fork; there's pie.

Even with the restoration of plans to produce a version of Halo for the Macintosh as well as for Windows PCs and Microsoft's forthcoming X-Box gaming console, it seems as if Bungie will no longer be exhibiting at MacWorld conferences.

Bungie did not exhibit officially at MWNY in 2000, although Alex Seropian did take advantage of the opportunity to reconfirm Halo for the Mac during Steve Jobs' keynote address, quieting some ofthe fears of many of Bungie's Macintosh-using fans. There was a FanFest in New York later that week, however.

Several members of the community received E-mails with the following message today (Kudos to Kel for posting about it in our forum):

Kudos to mnemesis, who pointed out the first news post to www.bungie.com in nearly two months. To wit:

Kudos to 3of9 for pointing out that it's My Modem is on Fire's birthday! We wish Stefan the best birthday ever while settling in to his new home. =)

Kudos to Cyberbob, who pointed out a handful of news items at www.bungie.net. Of particular note concern Bungie's hiring of an interface designer, while the coveted web engineer job remains unfilled. Dust off those resumes, folks.

Just a tidbit or two from the newest issue of Computer Gaming World. First, in the read.me portion of the magazine, they make a small comment on Oni:

So how tough is it to be an up and coming game developer after years and years of... well, being up and coming? Harder than one might think.

However, things seemed to have turned out all right so far for Bungie Software, which earlier this year became Bungie Studios, part of Microsoft's gaming division. Still, it wasn't always this easy.
