Uhhh...pretty sure Transmission comes bundled with a remote server already. Gives you both desktop browser and mobile Safari friendly access to your torrents without installing an app. It's actually very well done, and you can save the bookmark to your springboard and it will receive the Transmission icon.

Transmission > Preferences > Remote. '

I don't understand why this app was needed in the first place.

I actually just took advantage of this offer yesterday. For a 1st gen XBOX, 2 controllers, 5 decent games and 7 crappy ones, EB Games (Gamestop) got me a PS3 for $440 CDN after tax. I was very happy. As a long time 360 user, I was getting the PS3 for the Blu-ray mostly, but I can say that I really like the interface as a whole. Very clean and sharp. The online store seems a little computer orientated navigation wise, but the XMB is very well done.

So if you have old crappy systems and games you're not doing anything with, trade up and save a tonne of money. However, check your items on Ebay, as you could probably get more money from them than from EB. I had to convince the manager to upgrade the value of some of my games (all games under $8 value were made to be $10). If you have the patience to wait for them to be sold on Ebay you will probably make more. EB/Gamestop will definitely give you less. Having said that, I was pretty happy with my experience yesterday.

Since I live in Canada, I could care less about the 120gb hard drive, since we have no HD downloads (other than that free episode of South Park, which I loved). I could care less that it's black (especially when the HDDVD drive is staying white). I do care about HDMI. Normally I wouldn't, but when the HDDVD drive only does 1080i over component for movies...yeah I care. As much as I love my 360, this seems like an oversight, esp. when they knew about the impending copy-restrictions/resolution downgrading. HDMI is an overpriced and overhyped interface, but when the content providers make it the only interface to get 1080p out of (when it happens), what choice do I have but to play ball? Now if only it didn't cost US$479 for me to get that one port.

P.S. I realize the obvious answer is to get a PS3 for movies, but as there are exclusive titles for both HDDVD and BluRay, I don't consider that an option.

I liked the original Graw....until I played Vegas. What a huge difference a multiplayer cover system makes. I find it hard to believe that the soldier of tomorrow won't hide behind walls or rocks or such when trying to capture a flag, or bunker or such. Silly silly silly. I don't understand how Ubisoft can maintain a full cover system in Vegas, and not pull it off in GRAW? No PEC? Ooooh, but I get a drone to fly overhead you say? Give me multiplayer cover, PEC and no more Hendrix cover songs and I will come back to you my beloved first 360 series. For now though, I'm going to leave the soldier of tomorrow who can't cover for the kickass soldier of today who can.

A big thanks to all the contributors who keep making Adium better all the time. I have delted MSN off my system a long time ago and will never look back. Cheers on 1.0 and keep up the great work.

Wow...1200MS points for one of my favourite games ever. I have those points ready and waiting. If it's only 800 I'll just ahve to save those 400 extra ones for some extra content.

Best L.A. Confidential reference ever. Also a good tip. But mostly a good reference.

Re #3: I wish I had saw your post before I commented. A very good idea, that colour coding.

I think that (most) dynamic in game ads are fine, and actually help add a level of realism. As long as it doesn't get in the way of gameplay, I have no problems with my fav developers (read: not EA) making some extra scratch back. But I can see the issue with different ads for different players affecting gameplay. So make all the ads the same, even if it means going for more universal advertisers and less localized results.
