Sync files between Windows, Mac, Linux, and an iPhone with Glide Sync

by Brad Linder Aug 15th 2007

TransMedia is on a roll. Earlier this month, the company announced that its Glide Mobile service would enable Windows Media support on the iPhone. Now the company has launched a Linux version of its Glide Sync client.

That means Linux, Mac, or Windows users can synchronize files between computers. The way the service works is that you can upload files to a server and synchronize that data with one or more desktops. You can perform manual or scheduled synchronization. Glide Sync users get 2GB of free online storage space. You can get 10GB for $5/month, 20GB for $10/month and so on.

You can also access the files on any device with a supported web browser. So while you can't technically synchronize data between your Linux PC and your iPhone, you can upload data and access it using the web browser on your mobile phone.

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.
