Online games of skill? Win prizes online based upon ability rather than chance? Win money without gambling? $14,000,000 USD being spent on this per day? You want in on it? You want to get a cut? Hmmm… doesn’t sound like your ordinary pyramid scheme, or trapezoid scheme for that matter. uVme is here.
- Macs, .Mac, in the words of Janice from Friends “Oh My God”August 8 2007

So today I got an email from Apple telling me that the .Mac service has been updated and upgraded.
Dear .Mac member:
We’d like you to know about some exciting changes to your .Mac service. Read below to see how .Mac gives you new ways to share, more online storage, larger email attachments, and better control over spam in webmail.
You can now easily share photos and movies directly from iPhoto ‘08 and iMovie ‘08. Friends and family can see your photo albums in a variety of views. With your permission, they can download photos suitable for 16-by-20-inch prints and contribute photos by browser upload or email. To create a Web Gallery you will need iPhoto ‘08 version 7.0.1.
10x the storage. To make room for your photos and movies, your .Mac online storage will increase as follows:
Basic memberships will have a total of 10 GB of combined email and file storage.
Family Packs will have a total of 20 GB (10 GB for the master account, 2.5 GB for each sub-account).
If you upgraded to 2 GB, you will have a total of 20 GB of storage; if you upgraded to 4 GB, you will have a total of 30 GB.
You should see the storage increase in your account by August 14th.
Improved iWeb site hosting. Using iWeb ‘08, you can embed dynamic web widgets like Google Maps, Google AdSense, Web Gallery albums, or HTML snippets in your .Mac site. You’ll also find new themes and one-click theme-switching. And if you have you

So Roger Federer has matched the five straight Wimbledon wins of Bjorn ‘the’ Borg. It was a tremendous final to watch. I just think that Nadal will come back even better next year though.
Elsewhere Lewis Hamilton couldn’t win the British Grand Prix. Never mind. All I can say to Lewis is that all the fame and potential fortune coming your way will probably be well deserved. In fact when Martin Brundle interviewed our last World sport megastar, David Beckham, I though “Lewis, you’ll do a much better job of being famous than he will”. When asked by Brundle “You’ve driven some high performance cars David, how about taking one of these for a spin?” pointing at Jenson Button’s F1 car, Beckham responded “No way, I couldn’t get the insurance.. maybe someone could take me ’round the track in one.” Duh… David, F1 cars only have one freakin’ seat you Muppet. Concentrate on getting England qualification for Euro 2008, mate.
- So Zelda is best game ever huh?July 5 2007

Reported all over the Net recently, Edge magazine have named The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time as the best video game ever. Yes the game is totally awesome. I didn’t play it much myself when it came out, but my friend Rich played it to death. In fact the game does hold a special resonance with Richard and myself as it involves one of the first times that I met his girlfriend, and now wife, Anja. Rich went to get ready one particular time when I visited him in his flat in Nottingham and he left Anja playing Zelda on his N64. Anja, not really knowing me at the time and a bit shy decided to use the game as an ice-breaker. “Shall I show you how to fish?” she asked. The rest is history.
If a game inspires someone to do what you’ll see in the following video, then it’s special by my book anyway you look at it.

No 3G, as has been said a good few times, is a big issue for this ‘mobile’ device. That said, the interface looks so beautiful that… oh no… my reality is being distorted. Must…. have…. one….
