IPhone Gift-giving Tips

Back when we were assembling the Winter Gear Guide that appeared in the December 2008 edition of Macworld, I asked my colleague Christopher Breen to contribute a section on creatively presenting the iPhone 3G as a gift, should anyone on your shopping list be lucky enough to receive Apple's smartphone this holiday season. After all, the iPhone 3G presented unique gift-giving challenges: Unlike the original iPhone, which you could simply buy, gift warp, and sit back for the outpouring of gratitude from the thrilled-to-pieces recipient, the iPhone 3G requires in-store activation. AT&T and Apple have their reasons for imposing that restriction -- since AT&T is subsidizing the cost of the iPhone this time around, it wants as many users activating service as possible -- but the bottom line for gift-givers is that it means handing over a box tha

Great Games To Put On a Free PC?

Lumpy writes "I am giving several new PC's to a local charity that will be giving them to needy kids this Xmas. They are not powerful, basically baseline Dells that have Intel graphics and Celeron, but more than enough to do homework and other studies on. They are going out with XP on them, an Ubuntu CD, and a bunch of OSS software like OO.o and the others. I would like to include some games for the kids. Strategy, fun, etc. Great freeware games that are fun to play. What would be the best games that a 13-16 year old will like to play that are free and legal to give away, and will run on this lower-end hardware?"
