You know it occurred to me that you might actually do racing in real life...that is awesome
I hate iCloud with a passion...but I have no choice but to deal with it every day of my working life.....
PB...I have a PS2 and an Xbox 360...I will most likely get the new WII (I've forgotten the name...Revolution?) if and only if, I get a new full DK game...otherwise, I'm sticking with the Xbox....damn Microsoft pulling me in and I really don't want to get out (that's the problem)

Yup. I have an S2000 I do time trials with. I'm getting my Miata geared up for that, too.

Do you still play your PS2? I still have my original XBox, and I still play it. I have a PS3 and a 360, too. I enjoy all three.

Well I picked up an AT&T 32 gb iPad on Saturday and so far I am loving it. I only get wifi at home so i decided to go with the cell data option so i could bring my ipad to work/travel with me. Memory storage was a concern but I did set up an iCloud account for all of my iThings so we will see how it works out.
One thing that is kind of cool about icloud is if I download something on my iPad it automatically downloads to my iPhone and vice versa without syncing it to my computer.

Hey, I have a whole list of apps I can suggest you try out if you'd like. And please, if you haven't done so, get a COVER...hehehe one of my friends already dropped his because he thought he was 'too cool' for one.

I bought the smart cover at the same time I bought the iPad. Since I've been an iPhone user for a few years now I already have all of the typical apps (angry birds, shazam, pandora, words with friends, productivity and personal finance, banking etc). I did download Netflix and vdownload specifically for the iPad though. What else did you have in mind?

Ya know, I think I would actually wear these...if they worked.

Sergey Brin was spotted this evening sporting a pair of Google Glasses, the augmented-reality specs the Web giant is working on.
Brin was photographed wearing a prototype pair of the eyeglasses while he posed with tech evangelist Robert Scoble this evening at a charity event in San Francisco.
"The Google Glasses are real! Here is a set on @sergeybrinn cofounder of Googl @ Palace Hotel, San Francisco," Scoble wrote, including the picture in a Twitter post. "They look very light weight. Not much different than a regular set of glasses," he wrote in another tweet.
But that is as close as Brin would let Scoble get to his specs, Scobble wrote in another tweet:
Robert Scoble
@Scobleizer
Sergey wouldn't let me wear the Google Glasses but I could see they were flashing info to him. I so want one of these!
5 Apr 12
Google finally acknowledged yesterday that it was working on eyeglasses that could stream data to the wearer's eyes in real time. Google posted a video on YouTube showing someone wearing the glasses as he made his way around variety of Manhattan venues, receiving up-to-the-minute updates as information streamed into his glasses.
The video showed an Oakley-like metallic glasses frame curves around a person's forehead and is held up with nose pads. On the right of the frame was a thin device, presumably a small computer, and translucent screen just above and to the right of the right eye.
Word of the special glasses -- being touted by the company as Project Glass -- has apparently been a bit of an open secret for months on the Web giant's Mountain View, Calif., campus. Rumors began to spread last December that Google was working on high-tech glasses with a wearable head-up display that could tap into cloud-based location services and detail users' surroundings.

I saw part of the video demonstration of this and they looked pretty cool. I don't think I'd be able to see the display now though. Things up close are just too blurry. They need to figure that out if they want anybody over 45 to get them!
I'm a little anxious that I won't be able to use my phone while on this cruise. It is such a strange feeling!
