I downloaded the FFXIV open beta over the weekend to check it out and what a chore. Despite the updater using Bittorrent tech it was quicker to open the torrent files in uTorrent than to use their downloader. I tried FFXI in the past and thought that it not only looked drab and ran like crap, but . . . → Read More: Final Fantasy XIV To those of you who don’t have the Priority Inbox in your Gmail yet, I need to tell you something: I have . . . → Read More: Important! Everything seems much closer After visiting the optometrist he suggest I get glasses because I am far sighted.

I’ll admit I grudgingly dragged myself from bed early on Sunday so that we could get to the zoo when it opened.

While the technology is exciting the price tag decidedly is not at approximately $5000 per household, and that is only the estimated price to build it (half of which is tax-payer funded). As with any government project we can expect the cost to increase, despite Stephen Conroy’s assertion that rollouts in Tasmania have been completed 5% under budget. On that note, why is it always Tasmania that sees new telecommunications technology rolled out to first? Ars Technica posted an opinion piece today stating that Sony’s Playstation Move is better than Microsoft’s Kinect (link) which in itself wasn’t exactly eye-opening.
