The other day my girlfriend and I were having dinner and thought it would be nice to go see a movie. Problem was, we were at Burger King and didn’t know at what time our movie was starting. It was just one out of many moments in my life where I said : that’s why we’ll soon have access to the internet from anywhere, at anytime. Well, we’ve been able to do almost that for a while now. However, browsing the internet from a mobile has never been a funny experience for me. I think that’s why more and more companies will get products out to make it a lot easier and fun, very soon.

The Opera Mini is a neat web browser for your mobile. It features RSS feeds management, skins, bookmarks etc… All the standard features of a common browser. Here’s a 1 minute introduction video to Opera Mini :

I didn’t try it yet on a mobile, but I did try the Opera Mini 3.1 simulator to see how RandomBuzz.net would look in a mobile. Here’s what it came down to :

I never optimized this site to be viewed through a mobile so I can’t say that I’m very surprised that it doesn’t come out perfectly. However, I can note these very neat things about the rendering of the site :

• The favicon shows! (that little thingy left to the adress in the adress bar on top)
• Colors are maintained on the text, links and backgrounds
• Images are sized very efficiently

If you wish to see how other sites render with Opera Mini, just type http://www.operamini.com/demo/?url=http://domain.com, where domain.com is your domain name. Have fun.

Right now Joost is in beta stage : a limited number of members can have access. So you can’t just download Joost beta; you have to find someone to send you a free Joost invite. That would be me. Simply post a comment below and say ‘Send me a Joost invite!’ and I’ll send you one as soon as possible.

Don’t know what Joost is? Joost is a free, high-quality full screen player which allows you to watch full-length shows in a channel-browsing manner without any schedules or time-zones. It’s a new way to watch TV I guess. Want to know more? Check the Joost official website.

If you google ‘free flash video games’, you’ll get close to 100,000,000 results. Literally tons of websites on the internet offer free online PC Flash Games. However, a good number have a lot of spyware and might require you to download a player or even download the entire game.

This website, http://www.gamesforwork.com/, I find is somewhat better than most. No need to download anything, just choose your flash game and play. 10 new free flash games are added each day and they’ve got quite a nice selection to choose from. Enjoy!

I’m a fan of the Dead or Alive video games, I think they took video fighting games to a whole new level. (Especially with the DOA Extreme Volleyball games!) But whenever they make a movie out of a video game, I’m not sure. Especially this one. Makes me think of the Street Fighter movie.

I haven’t seen the DOA movie yet. But I will make this prediction : I won’t find it that bad. Why? Because inside of me I already know it will be horrible. So I can’t really be disappointed. Will the story stink? Of course. How about the plot, the cast? Hell yeah. On the plus side however : babes, action scenes and more babes. So I predict it will be a flop, but one worth watching on tv on a lonely Saturday night in a few years.

Here’s the DOA movie trailer :

I can see how this all began when the Turks were first confronted with American movies : ‘Let’s censor this part, and this part. And this one. This one too. Oh and especially this one. Oh and what the heck, why don’t we remake the entire movie ourselves? Good idea Kumar!’

The result? Us human beings have been blessed with gems of cinematography, treasures that will last forever. I give you the Turkish Star Wars version (10 minutes of it), starring the one and only Cuneyt Arkin :

Notice the sick fight scenes and the clever use of the Indiana Jones soundtrack. Wow.
