In a large pot of salted boiling water, boil pasta until al dente. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Heat a large pot over medium heat and add bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bacon pieces are mostly crisped through, 7 to 9 minutes.

Add the sage leaves and cook until fragrant and crisp, 1 to 3 minutes more. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon and sage from pot to a paper towel-lined plate. Add flour, and cook, stirring occasionally, until flour is golden and smells nutty, 2 to 3 minutes. Add cider slowly, whisking to combine with the flour. Next, add the milk slowly, again whisking to break up any clumps of flour. Bring mixture up to a simmer, stirring frequently, and cook until thickened slightly like a thick gravy , 3 to 4 minutes.

Remove pot from heat and stir in cheeses until they have completely melted into the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and fold in the cooked noodles. If the sauce feels too thick or grainy, add reserved pasta water a splash at a time, stirring in between additions. You can also reheat this mac over medium heat with a splash of pasta water, if the cheese sauce gets too thick when it cools. Fold in half the bacon sage mixture.

Serve mac and cheese topped with remaining bacon and sage. TransGaming, which several years ago dipped its toes in the Mac game market with conversions from leading Mac game publishers, is taking another step into the Mac market, this time adopting their Cedega technology for Linux to run on Intel-based Macs.

Users pop in a disc, install the game, and run it just as they would a standard Mac OS X application. Cider, meanwhile, translates on the fly the Application Programming Interfaces APIs that the game needs to call in order to work. An acronym for WINE Is Not an Emulator, the software is an open source effort to make Linux-based computers run Windows application, not through emulation but through a translation layer that handles Windows-specific application code dynamically.

We understand Mac users and the Apple look and feel. TransGaming is already working with several PC game publishers to bring forth Cider-vetted games—Gupta said a half-dozen new titles are already in the works.
