Yahoo! relaunches online video site

yahoo! video
Yahoo! has rolled out an updated version of Yahoo! Video. It's pretty, easy to use, and has a nice mix of user generated video and professional content including music videos, news, and movie trailers. And if it had come out about 3 or 4 years ago it might have had a chance of competing with YouTube.

One new feature that's a bit confusing is the "Networks" submenu. At first we figured that Yahoo! would be hosting full length videos, possibly in partnership with Hulu. But what Yahoo! means by "network" is a group of related videos. So there are networks for music, news, sports, animals, animation, and so on.

An interesting feature is that when one network video ends another will begin. If you're watching news or music videos, this is a nice feature to have. It's sort of like watching the evening news, or watching MTV back when they used to actually show music videos.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

CiviballsI 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.
