I had wondered if Apple might make an exception with the in–app purchasing rule for Tapulous. Turns out: no. And that sucks.

I seem to have managed to defy conventional logic and forgotten how to ride a bike. Or at least, how to get it rolling.

WatchHalo in Five Minutes
“Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom.” Haha.
Still don’t have much motivation to play Halo Wars, but really want to re–play Halo 2 now. When are they going to make it available as an Xbox Original Games on Demand game on Xbox Live?
Also, little bit of nitpicking: Miranda Keyes was killed by Truth, not Regret. That’s at the 5:15 mark.

Moved in, done unpacking, and loving my room. And thank god for the iPhone tethering hack, since wireless in the house isn’t set up yet.

People who are responsible for the electronic signs on motorways, a broken down car in the hard shoulder is not an “incident” that motorists need to “slow down” for. If you hadn’t put the sign up in the first place, probably nobody would’ve noticed and we would all just speed past it. Stop artificially slowing down traffic.

Packing done. Once again I’ve witnessed how my life can gradually be shrunk and loaded into a small volume a suitcase and a duffel bag.
I am now ready to move in tomorrow later today.

Back in England. And the first thing I walked into after getting home was a spider. Again. Fucker was trying to build a web across the hallway.

TapFancy →
From their description:
TapFancy is a showcase for the very best in iPhone and iPod Touch application design.
Can’t say much about most of the apps shown since the only ones I’ve used are Facebook and Convertbot, both very slick to use, but the rest do look good at the very least.

Bruce Almighty is on! God Morgan Freeman FTW!
Brief mind–blowing moment: forgot that Evan made an appearance in this film as well as the sequel. Okay, it’s not the same character, but still…

Just saw The Godfather for the first time. Well, the last 45 minutes of it anyway. I don’t see why it’s as great as people say it is yet.

Mice Levitated in Lab →
LiveScience:
“It actually kicked around and started to spin, and without friction, it could spin faster and faster, and we think that made it even more disoriented,” said researcher Yuanming Liu, a physicist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

Following the Liveblog: "It's Only Rock and Roll"
Ready, expectations managed, and go. I’ll be on Engadget.
“I wouldn’t be here without such generosity” sounds like something out of GivesMeHope.
Might hold back on iPhone OS 3.1 for now if it only takes signed carrier profiles. I want my should–be–free tethering.
Woo. Ringtones. $1.29. Pass.
So Genius Mixes is like an endless Genius playlist? Okay.
Liking the new sync...

I don’t think the Apple event tonight will be a juicy one, at least for me personally.
New iPod hardware? Whatever. People will be interested, but not excited. The “classic” iPods — classic, nano, and shuffle — have passed their prime, and the touch will basically be nothing more than a baby iPhone.
Here’s some wishful thinking though:
A push–enabled VoIP app,...
