X Games a Short and Action Packed Game for iOS

post from prMac on 30 March 2011 04:28:00 PM. © prMac

PTT Solution has announced the release of X Games 1.0. X Games is a free physics-based game for iOS devices. In the game, you ride and balance your unicycle at the same time. It looks very very easy, but it's not easy, it's very difficult to play. Usually, it takes from 2 to 10 seconds for the game to be over. Therefore, it is a very short iOS game. In some cases, it is quite funny. The game is the best way to kill your stress before stress kills you.

Lukas Mathis on Skype 5 for Mac:

At the company I work, we use Skype to communicate. A lot of the people here use Windows computers. More than once, a Windows user walked by my Mac, saw my version of Skype, and said something to the effect of «wow, this looks so much better than the horrible mess we have on Windows!» It seems Skype has noticed that there is a discrepancy in quality between the two versions, and has decided to make the two versions more similar to each other. Unfortunately, instead of making the Windows version of Skype better, they?ve decided to fix the discrepancy by making the Mac version of Skype more like the Windows version.

SMEStorage Announces CloudFTP adds FTP Support to
Over 15 Storage Clouds

post from prMac on 30 March 2011 02:09:00 PM. © prMac

SMEStorage today announced that they have released CloudFTP, a new feature add-on for their open cloud platform that FTP enables storage clouds even if the underlying storage cloud does not support the File Transfer Protocol. This means transferring files can be as easy as launching an FTP client. The CloudFTP feature continues a theme of providing ubiquitous access into silo'd storage clouds. Uploading data to different sessions is as simple as uploading files to different storage directories.

Amazon Isnt Paying Music Labels Licensing Fees
for Cloud Player

post from Daring Fireball on 30 March 2011 02:04:28 PM. © Daring Fireball

Robert Andrews, PaidContent:

But Amazon resists any suggestion that it needs licenses for storage. The company tells paidContent: ?We do not need a license to store music in Cloud Drive. The functionality of saving MP3s to Cloud Drive is the same as if a customer were to save their music to an external hard drive or even iTunes.? We asked if Amazon believes the same holds true for streaming over its companion Cloud Player and was told this is its official statement and there would be no further comment at this time.

Good for Amazon. I really hope they win this. I you buy a song (or movie, or TV show), it shouldn’t matter where it’s stored.
