Soon, Apple fans waiting for months on end to see big PC games get ported to their platform will be a thing of the past. Electronic Arts, the world's biggest game publisher is cooperating hand in hand with Apple to make porting that much faster.

EA COO Bing Gordon was with Apple CEO Steve Jobs as the two announced this exciting development at the Worldwide Developer's Conference hosted by Apple in San Francisco.  Big EA game franchises Command & Conquer 3, Battlefield 2142, Need For Speed Carbon and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will be the first to ship on the Mac OS X platform followed by Madden NFL 08 and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08.

To make the porting process easier, an engine called Cider developed by TransGames will be put into use. This will cut the development time significantly and keep Apple units in stride with their Windows counterparts.

TransGaming CEO Vikas Gupta says "traditionally Mac users had to wait to play the latest blockbuster games. "We're thrilled that TransGaming's Cider engine will dramatically decrease the time it will take to bring EA's hit portfolio of games to a thirsty Mac market."

Besides the actual North Pole, there's one specific place that picks up all the mail addressed to Santa Claus. It's North Pole, Alaska, and the the merry elves of Santa probably find it a little bit warmer there than what they're used to, though they get to read through all the mail addressed to the jolly red gift-giver.

According to a press release from Duracell, it seems that tech stuff is mentioned a lot in kids' Christmas wishlists. They compiled a gift index based for all this called the "Duracell-North Pole Gift Index." This Gift Index was created by reading through 1,013 Dear Santa letters sent to the North Pole.

Of the top 15 things asked for, game systems and portable music players got in, with Apple's iPod and the Nintendo DS being mentioned often. Here's their list:

1. Clothing (e.g., jerseys, boots and jackets)
2. Dolls and Action Figures (e.g., Bratz, Barbie, G.I. Joe)
3. Gaming Systems (e.g., Nintendo, Xbox, PlayStation 1/2/3 and Gamecube)
4. Portable Gaming Devices (e.g., Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable - PSP and Game Boy)
5. Video Games (e.g., Madden NFL 2007)
6. Sports Equipment (e.g., hockey sticks, basketball hoops and baseball gear)
7. Toy Vehicles and Planes
8. Portable Music Players (e.g., iPod, MP3s and CD Players)
9. Remote Control Vehicles and Animals (e.g., cars, helicopters, Tamagotchi and TEKNO dog)
10. Movies/DVDs (e.g., "Cars," "Ice Age")
11. Books
12. Bikes/Scooters
13. Art Supplies
14. Board Games
15. A Live Pet (e.g., dog, cat, ferret, fish or hamster)

While it's definitely not representative of what the world wants for Christmas, it's definitely an indication that kids are getting savvier with tech every year. Our only question, besides "world peace" losing its spot on the top charts, is why kids want Madden NFL 07. To each his own, we suppose.
