Zero Punctuation came out with a rant on GTA4 that gets me even more excited for the rest of the game. He says the game doesn’t really start to get good until about 5 hours in, when the training mode stops and you’re no longer bothered by tips teaching you how to play the game and crazy stuff starts happening. Can’t wait.
The ad during my viewing of the rant was for the Samsung Instinct, a iPhone clone for Sprint. I have to admit, the phone looks very nice and outperforms the iPhone in the areas I would use it for (GPS, web surfing, and live TV), but the iPhone has a hard drive an plays MP3s, which it doesn’t seem the Instinct can handle. Also, who knows how well the Instinct will compare when AT&T starts upgrading their network over the next year.
If you haven’t yet, check out Microsoft Live Mesh . With it, you can store over 5 gigs of data on their server which you can pull down from anywhere you have internet access over a secure connection. Also, if you can install a bit of software on the wild computer, you can log into your home computer with remote desktop, and run any application as though you were actually on that computer. In the short time I’ve been using it, it’s made transferring files much easier, and I don’t have to worry about bringing my laptop with me every time I leave the house. Plus, here pretty soon you’ll be able to do all of this over your cell phone. I’ve tried to get something similar working with Hamachi, but this is a billion times better, and much easier to get running.
