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…

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.
