I love games like this, puzzle-like and lots of strategy required. In other words something to pass the time in a really nice way.
If I owned an XBOX, this would be one of the games that I’d buy, not to mention a game that I saw a video about many months ago called Flower, I believe.
Check it out…
This is so true for me. Wowza!!!
I saw this article on Forbes.com and the headline really struck my fancy.
In short it says that probably 40% of introverts make the best leaders. Furthermore introverts make the best leaders mainly for the following reaons:
Do these apply to me?
How ’bout you?
Through job listings and and interview comments, it’s clear that Apple has finally taken an active interest in the gaming market. The company has been positioning the iPod touch as a gaming device in their advertisements both on the web and on television. Meanwhile, a recent job listing seeking a game developer raised the question of whether or not Apple might take matters into their own hands with game development.
I would not be surprised if Apple jumped into the gaming industry with some sort of dedicated gaming platform. I highly doubt it, but still, I wouldn’t be surprised. And we all know best that Apple will probably make a valiant attempt at being a strong force in the market in some revolutionary way.
Finally, from what I gather, I don’t think it was Apple’s original intention for the iPod Touch to be such a popular gaming platform. This may have given Apple some ideas.
Just sayin’.

The issue was a company called Zynga, which makes online games, like FarmVille, that have become incredibly popular on Facebook among people who are missing parts of their brains. Read more…
This is a quote from fakesteve.net (a blog that pretends to be Steve Jobs’ online diary of sorts).
It’s really interesting and I came to know of this site like two years ago, give or take some months. Anyway, I came across this article called “Why the mainstream is dying” and read the part quoted above and chuckled to myself.
I’m not trying to get into what the article is about, but rather segue to why I’m pointing this portion out. Personally, I’m not raggin’ on folks that play Farmville, but at this point I just don’t see the attraction. However I did tell a friend on Facebook this past weekend that I will give it a shot. On the matter of Facebook, my newsfeed is filled with friends who are Farmville addicts.
Guess I gotta try it out.
Anyway, are you a Farmville addict? Have good reason why I should join the ranks of Farvillians??
I regret being slow to talk up this product earlier, but have you ever used a library, school, or company computer and wonder why and how after making changes on the computer, at reboot everything is restored to it’s state prior to use? Well, most likely they were running Deep Freeze or the like. But in any case, Deep Freeze provides this very functionality.
Deep Freeze Mac provides a completely non-restrictive working environment where there is no need to be concerned about system damage or corruption; a simple restart eradicates all changes and ensures that the standard system configuration is available at all times. All changes to a computer are temporary for that working session, including installation or removal of software and application preference configuration.
Now I don’t know about you, but this makes perfect sense to me. In fact I don’t want to get into any technical details about this software as I did install the evaluation download and using it is fairly straight forward, if you’re already in the habit of using data preservation tools. But for clarity’s sake, let’s say you bought a brand new shiny Mac, you install all your additional software and customize it’s settings and features to suit you. Now, obviously over time Macs and PCs alike age, wear and get corrupt preferences, system file errors, and the like. In order to to preserve the perfect functioning of you computer you install and selectively “freeze” the operating system (OS) and software areas of your computers hard drive in their present pristine state. So no matter what you do or what happens from when your computer decides to get screwy, it will always be fixable with a simple rebooting of the system. This is flat-out awesome!
As far as IT professionals are concerned, it works perfectly and is tailor-made, as a matter of fact, for large computer environments with a small IT staff and small budgets. It saves on time-effectiveness in terms of not having to restore and re-image several hundred (more or less) computers repeatedly, especially with high computer usage on daily basis. In fact, this personally hits home for me as I have a friend who is also my coworker as our “IT Guy”. We love him and appreciate everything he does because, first he alone is the IT staff, and his daily duties are staggering.
I checked out the list of key features that this software has to offer and it’s no doubt long, so I will only point out some features that I think are worth mentioning here as a selling point for both standard use (single user) and business/education (enterprise) use.
Finally, Deep Freeze runs on multiple platforms (Windows, Mac OSX, Windows Server and Linux), but recently an updated version of Deep Freeze was released along side the launch of Apple Inc’s new OS update, Snow Leopard.
If I were to rate this software on scale of five stars, I’d give this all five.
Please read more, download and even consider trying out the 30-day trial software at Faronics.com
Ms. Contino, you have my deepest apology. 
Yesterday afternoon when I got home, I saw this big box sitting at my front door and was kinda shocked at how fast Apple support got it out to me. So I’m going to pack it up today and send it off on Monday.
I really hope that I am right about my NVIDIA graphics processor. I mean I do know that it’s dead, no doubt about it. But you know, I want to be absolutely sure and what’s killing me is I won’t know until an Apple technician gets my mac and takes look at it. Anxious, anxious. But that’s typical me 24/7.
Here’s hoping though. 
Stay synced!
