Furious Update

Argh – I’ve got into a blog-lag: I’m going to have to dump a lot of links to get going again:

Vodafone have launched their 3G service in the UK – alas just like GPRS it’s very expensive. A friend recently switched to 3 – the other 3g operator in the UK (they’ve been going for about a year) – and I discovered something very odd – they don’t do data at all! just voice (and video calling) – that astounds me – what a waste.

I had a real retro gaming moment recently when I stumbled across a working copy Carrier Command on the web – ah…. reminds me of the 80′s and the Atari ST.

Good news – someone’s writing a remake as a hobby (yay!)

It’s true – the fat record labels are forcing up the price of downloads to match CDs – they still don’t get it, do they… Why do I get the feeling that when iTunes Music Store finally launches in the UK the prices will be self-defeatingly large. Quick Note to record label Bosses – you are competing against free downloads – increasing prices won’t work.

Burnout 3 video – oooohhh…
vs.
The top Video on this page. (Evil MS – boo!!! )

The new NextLink bluetooth headset. Yikes! we’re living in the future – it’s only a matter of time before someone makes one that you can surgically implant…

The N-Gage QD has been released. Also – Nokia’s handset targetting mistakes have cost them

MT-BlackList Updater – uses RSS to update your Movable Type spam blacklist.

A friend of mine swears by LaunchBar – and I’m now hooked on QuickSilver – which is freeware, and deeply useful.

England beat the West Indes 3-0 in the Test Cricket series – Yay!

Phew, right – that’s all.
