AllYouCanUpload: Unlimited photo uploads from CNet

by Jordan Running May 30th 2006

AllYouCanUpload is a new image hosting site from CNet's Webshots. Unlike Webshots, it's in the ImageShack/PhotoBucket camp, intended not for browsing like Flickr, but for hosting photos and images to be used on other web sites. Like ImageShack, AllYouCanUpload is a free, no-login service and the upload form is right on the front page, and the service is completely devoid of advertising. There are no file size limits and no limit on total storage of number of images uploaded. Its most notable feature, though, is that there are no bandwidth constraints, so if you upload a file that becomes immensely popular, it won't get taken down as with some other services. That feature is by no means unique to AllYouCanUpload, but it's nice to see. Like ImageShack, once you upload an image you have to hang on to the URL or you'll never get it back. If you're interested in such things, CNet's Martin Green writes a bit about the service, and CNet's new "Haystack" back-end storage system, in his blog. Now, how long before ImageBot will work with it?

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.
