Origin News has word that alpha testing of Origin for Mac OS X is now underway. Anyone who wants to participate is welcome, and they give details on what is not working at the moment, including the Origin Store. As a reward for helping out, all testers will get a free copy of PopCap's Bookworm to keep. Word is: "Your participation in this alpha trial is greatly appreciated, and your feedback will help ensure the best possible experience for all Mac gamers when we officially launch. If you have a Mac running OS X 10.6.8 or newer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor or better, we hope you’ll download the alpha and start gaming today."
