You Have Just Lost The Game
The objective of The Game is to forget that it ever existed, and that’s it. The longer you forget, the better you are at The Game. But as soon as you remember about The Game then you lose. There are only three rules when playing the Game, and these are:
Rule 1: You are now playing The Game.
Rule 2: Whenever you think about The Game, you lose.
Rule 3: Every time you lose The Game, you must announce it.
So, let’s see how long you can go without losing The Game!

BBC iPlay to be released for the iPhone
Well it looks like the iPhone is about to get TV on demand which is great so long as the network can coap with it.
For thous of you who don’t know BBC iPlayer allows people to watch TV programs from the past seven days that has been broadcast on the all the BBS channels.
The iPhone and iPod touch are able to stream shows from the iPlayer website over wi-fi networks. The iPhone cannot stream BBC video over the cell network. A BBC developer said that the corporation was currently working on other versions of the iPlayer for “many more” devices.
The version for iPhone and iPod touch users will allow streaming over a wi-fi connection. However, the EDGE mobile network used by the iPhone is too slow for streaming video.
The corporation has agreed a deal with wi-fi firm The Cloud to provide all BBC online services for free at its 7,500 hotspots.
Lucky iPhone users are expected to get this later this month!
