Brandon, your comments seem to be misinformed. The team working on mesh, as well as the residents involved in testing and feedback, have been far from hibernating. They have weekly meetings which are open to the public and what appears to be active message boards as well as test/sandbox regions on the aditi grid. Links are in previous posts, you're welcome to join in and participate (at one point they were even offering parcels on aditi that you could sign up for, so you could better test and play around with mesh if you wanted).
As for Blue Mars, Geenz is absolutely correct. Blue Mars is not going to be offering Mac support anytime soon. Regardless of whether they wanted to or had the money (which they don't), the game engine they built the desktop version of their virtual world on is DirectX/PC only. Their recent announcement that they're shifting to iOS could also be read as "we've run out of money to develop for the desktop in a meaningful way and are going to try another, possibly less expensive approach. Their iOS app seemed to be a completely different approach, starting as a 'hot or not' avatar rating program, with eventual dreams of being more like IMVU. it remains to be seen whether they'll survive.
