This week we finished our free online game site Gametopia.com. Gametopia.com launched on February 9th 2007.
With thousands of free arcade sites we felt it was important to have good “hook” to both generate new memberships and retain our members.
As part of our ongoing promotion we will be giving away prizes to members on a regular basis. During our launch we will be giving away ipod shuffles through free drawings. To be included in the drawings members must simply accumulate 50 Points by playing games.
This is NOT one of those free ipod sites where you need to complete or make a purchase or complete a trial offer in order to win. This IS a legitimate offer to people who play online games. The only requirement is registration on the site which is free and takes about 1 minute.
Since we just launched the odds of winning are extremely high! In fact, right now there are very few members!
So if you like free online games visit Gametopia.com

That’s right, iPod and Google seem to be getting a bit friendly these days. I think Google knows how to pick a winner and this is proof of that.
According to Google’s VP of European Operations, Nikesh Arora, iPods increasing storage size will give the little device no limits when it comes to ramping up space capacity.
From the original source:
“Arora said, by 2012, iPods could launch at similar prices to those on
sale now and yet be capable of holding a whole year’s worth of video
releases. Around 10 years down the line that could be expanded,
creating iPods that can hold all the music ever sold commercially.”
Wasn’t iPod supposed to be dead?

This week has been a little odd for me with my web finds. I just can’t seem to shake these weird finds that keep coming up. First, there was the Girl Poop Pants story, and now bananas have their own suit cases.
I think a picture could probably sum up the new and improved Banana Guard.
My question is… does anyone else think this whole banana case thing looks a little…ummm…kinky?

Microsoft seems to have simply gotten in too much of a hurry to jump on the media player bandwagon with its new “iPod Killer”, the Zune. It’s almost as if they needed to release a Beta version to a few of us junkies so we could have at least tried to help them through this painful episode with a little less tears. That obviously didn’t happen.
Here we are a day or two after Zune went on the shelves and the AppleInsider is confirming that Zune isn’t even compatible with Windows Vista. That’s right, the big bad Zune won’t even work with Microsoft’s new OS that should start hitting machines shortly.
Talk about rushing out the door with shirt on backwards! I almost feel kind of sorry for the Zune folks. I mean… who would have thought it would be THIS bad?
iPod, it’s your turn. Let’s see what you got!

I think most of us watching the whole iPod killer wannabe come out of the gate knew all too well what the DRM feature Zune shoves in our face was about. The DRM program in the Zune media player kills any file after its third play if it wasn’t purchased, regardless of where the file came from. What this means is that any indy band or individual looking to market their own music (in my case it is trance that I create and offer for free) will be dead in the water with this new “iPod Killer”. Personally, I knew what was behind the surface… money.
Fox News has a story posted on their website that explains a recent announcement that Microsoft plans to cut Universal Music in on every Zune device that is sold.
The big question is… was Zune really built for the community as Microsoft proclaims, or is it another M$ ploy for more power and cash?
What say you?

I kind of giggle every time I read something like this. There was a day when I was actually curious to see how well Zune would perform in its infancy, but that day has long passed. When the Software giant Microsoft can’t even find a base that doesn’t pack an iPod they just might want to re-think the whole “we killed your cool toy” marketing ploy.

It’s Saturday so I figured we could use something different. Today’s first post came to me as a surprise and I still have a hard time believing it happened.
According to this blogger, when a 40GB iPod was ordered it was shipped with two bars of soap and a package of cheap batteries instead of an actual iPod.
He even has the pictures posted so stop by and say hello.

Zune’s very own Cesar Menendez is putting together yet another “Zune and soup” meeting.
Last Wednesday Cesar met with his blog readers to show them his Zune and enjoy some small talk. According to Cesar’s blog he’ll be back at the Coffee Chop in Seattle this next Wednesday for another cup of soup and some show and tell with the new Zune. I’m no fan of the Zune, but it’s good to see Microsoft getting its people out in the real world.
In case you’re new to the Zune storm, Zune is Microsoft’s stumbling attempt to challenge iPod for the king of the media players trophy.
More on this soon!

This is just downright stylin’ and profilin’ the way of the iPod!
From the source:
* Special pocket for iPod, strategically placed not to bulge
* Small control buttons on the left sleeve buttons or inner lapel
* Loop to tastefully tuck the earphones wires
* Detachable wearable electronics for easy suit care
I think we’ll start seeing more and more of this kind of thing moving forward.
