Gmail Drive 1.0.6 Released

by Jason Clarke Jul 29th 2005

Similar to Xmail, which we mentioned two weeks ago, Gmail Drive allows Windows users to create a virtual hard drive complete with a drive letter to store data in, using Gmail as their data store. This has limited use, as it is understandably very slow, but can be used successfully for backing up important documents. Note that this version fixes a problem introduced by recent changes to Gmail. The developer states that older versions of the utility must be uninstalled before installing this updated version.

Uninstall the application to remove the drive, the 'log out' feature seems not to work.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
