Nimbuzz: MSN and Google Talk for your mobile

by Chris Gilmer Aug 30th 2006

Nimbuzz is a utility for your mobile phone to chat and send free text messages to contacts. The tool works with both MSN and Google Talk. There are no limits of characters for the texting feature of Nimbuzz, and messages can be sent to desktops as well with the Nimbuzz desktop application. The Nimbuzz chat feature enables users to chat mobile to mobile or mobile to PC with MSN or Google Talk contacts. In order for Chat and Text to work, both parties must have the Nimbuzz application installed on their mobile devices.

I tried the Nokia Communicator version and it worked for MSN, it had no Google Talk features whatsoever. The UI was buggy as well, you had to guess which button did one to navigate through the menus, but it eventually worked and I managed to access and chat with people on my MSN list.

The website has 'Beta' all over it, but the program says that it is still in the alpha stage when you download it.

I hope that they add a voice feature where you can do Voip with your MSN and Google talk list from your phone, that'll be great.

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.
