'Macsimum Recommended Reading' for Feb. 27

"Good iPhone games 'harder to find' says Apple: Apple iPhone applications on the App Store went from 500 to over 15,000 in the first six months. And the Apple iPhone has become the handheld console of choice for casual game developers and consumers." -- Electricpig

"Peter Chernin To Replace Steve Jobs At Apple? Please: According to Apple's (AAPL) board at the company's annual meeting this week, 'nothing has changed' with regards to CEO Steve Jobs' situation, meaning Jobs is still scheduled to come back from medical leave at the end of June. But what if he doesn't? Someone will need to run Apple." -- Silicon Valley Insider

"Slim Shady vs. Universal -- and what it tells us about Apple: Many people complain that we're becoming an overly litigious society. And while they probably have a point, civil lawsuits involving big companies do have a huge benefit for consumers: companies can't spin and outright lie in court the way they can in the normal, everyday world. Stuff comes out in courtroom dramas that you wouldn't hear anywhere else." -- ITWorld

"Apple, Al Gore and Climate Change: Apple Inc. had its shareholder meeting Wednesday and the media focused on the absence of its charismatic leader Steve Jobs. But there's an even more famous guy associated with Apple. Al Gore is one of my heroes" -- GreenBiz

"Phones must be unlocked to challenge PCs' creative power: Mobiles will be the PCs’ poor relation until they are made open-ended." -- The Irish Times

"Blu-ray licensing gets easier -Will Apple be tempted to incorporate Blu-ray into the Mac now?" -- Edible Apple

"TV.com app brings CBS to iPhones, Touches" -- MacNN

"Carmack: Quake Live on Mac, Linux 'high on my priority list': Don't worry Mac and Linux gamers: Though the public beta of Quake Live that opened its doors yesterday only supports Windows, id Software's John Carmack tells Joystiq that 'it's pretty high on my priority list to have the Mac and Linux support.' To that end, an external contractor is working on just that 'right now' but Carmack acknowledges that Quake Live compatibility 'is going to be a much bigger factor in [the Mac and Linux markets] for people wanting to play the game than it is on the Win32 market where you have so many more options'. " -- Joystiq

"Apple Axing iPhone Emoji Apps: Apple has apparently decided that iPhone and iPod touch users outside of Japan don't need Emoji characters, so the company has begun rejecting programs that enable the feature. Programs that do nothing more than enable Emoji have already started to disappear from the App Store, too." -- MacObserver
