Tron on iPod Touch

Normally I don’t think much of free apps for the iPod. I’m totally against Apple’s marketing, but addicted enough to Touch since it’s less invasive financially than Microsoft on smartphones and desktops.

Tron doesn’t play as expected with lightcycles, this version of the virtual lifestyle uses tanks controlled by virtual joysticks. It offers individual as well as multiplayer, for the most part I ripped apart whoever was on the other end…it’s hard to say if it was due to system lag or WiFi speed on the other person’s part…or maybe I’m just ‘that good’.

For a time waster, I’d recommend it over Angry Birds Lite…something I got tired of having on my iPod after beating it.

America’s Army on Xbox Live

Upgraded my Clearwire to Clear’s Wimax system today and took advantage of testing out the higher connection.  Pretty impressive, no throttling so both my VoiP and online video usage are dramatically improved.  I tested the connection four times throughout the day.  I’m still getting a 10:1 Upload/Download ratio of speed, but since I’m not doing major archiving this isn’t an issue.

Now with all the gizmo’s I got it’s probably a good time to check cheapinsurance123.com. The more I invest in items for the home, the more the nagging “you need insurance” comment my landlord made three months ago that I needed to get done in 30 days comes to mind.
